Ha! You guys are rich! :mj07:
clueless me, I didn't even think of YouTube!
tons of good videos there on dressing the rodent.
but saw nothing as efficient as redneck neighbors I had. Two of 'em working together skinned and gutted the squirrel under 2 minutes! I shoulda filmed that.
it was later in morning. light rain and and two of the 4 of 'em who actually had a sort-of job (reading and checking water meters for little rural company one of the dude's family owned) decided rain was enuf reason not to work and commence drinking.
one feller, "Rebel", had been drinking since 11pm night before. he also waved a pistol about when got into occasional screaming fits. I asked one of other guys and they said already checked and no bullets in revolver or on him.
then that squirell appeared and dog fixed it on one tree. Guy got shotgut outta the camphouse and expertly nailed the sucker, no head left and just two pieces of shot in back.
They put it on ice that day for stew next, as they were already smoking turkey (injected with cajun spices) shot earlier in week. Had little garden of fresh peppers and some herbs right by camp house.
early afternoon boated out to check the trot lines for flatheads...took pic below of my lot from the water
that was the livin!.....But had to sell my lot due to security problems storing my stuff there. Now got boring middle-class midwest neighbors in my locked and gated lake community in Kansas. Pic of view from KS lot below. Some nice channel cats in that pond!
Sportsaholic!
You get ice storm very bad there? My bro in Old Town escaped most of it. But he has to commute to job in Rockport 4 times a week! I imagine it's worse near the coast.
What lobster pound you like in your area? Dip Net, Watermans or?
at my buddy's off Lime Kiln Rd in San Marcos, he had armies of the rodents around his place. They even cut thru his screens to get inside to the kitchen! He reluctantly got dog and cat to keep rodents and deer away. Unfortunately also keep other wildlife away too.
but frogs still in his pond, and toads on porch
