thatoneguy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Rabbit is delicious! I've never tried squirrel, but my grandparents ate it a lot growing up, and they said it's pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainbutter Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Anyone have any good guides for cleaning small mammals? I'm a fair hand at filleting fish, but small game hunting is a brand new thing I'm getting intrigued by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky hunter 82 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Growing up we ate alot of Rabbits, Squirrels, Grouse, Snapping Turtles. We event tried Porkiepine once, not too bad really. The best was Squirrel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishfearme Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Grouse! Rabbit is discusting, at least the times I have had it. I would rather eat bear meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinhard1 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 anything can taste bad if not cooked right. we ate a lot of snowshoes when i was a kid and my mom would brown the meat and then simmer it in some gravey. but i agree with you that grouse is excelent also. good luck.

Snowshoes/cottontails are darn good eating too. I used to shoot a bunch of them when I was a kid and my dad would cook them just like you described--Yummy.I might have to get the 22 out and go find a few this week.

Juneau4 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 So you say, but I have yet to have a poor tasting Grouse. [/quote Grouse shouldn't even been listed- just small game and unprotected species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 grouse is under the small game hunting lic..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlife4me Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Browned snowshoe and grouse with some potatoes and gravy with a few cold beers sounds real good right now. Too bad I have to settle for fresh crappies and hashbrowns tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crm7290 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I understand that a lot of people eat squirrel but I dont think I would ever try it. Its the city kid in me, but they are too ratlike for me to want to eat. Kudos to you for eating em.I've had bear meat, I know its not small game, but someone brought it up saying they would rather eat bear meat. I thought it was delicious!
