My cousin killed 2 grays with "weevils" in them. I have heard of this before, but I have never seen them in central Indiana. How common are these maggots?

I haven't squirrel hunted in at least 15 years but following this thread lit the fire again. I went out for about 30 min Friday morning and bagged two. Not all head shots like some of you guys but it was fun getting back out there.

Yesterday eve pulled 3 more out of the same tree that I limited out the eve before.
Then this morning went to a different patch of woods and nothing.
Sure does spoils a guy when you run into a honey hole.
But it was great just being out in the woods.

I obtained an electric pressure cooker a few years ago. They all get the PC treatment before frying. Melt in your mouth! wink

Weed,

Good looking recipe but if I made that much I'd be eating it for a week! I might make a batch and freeze some in meal size containers. h.h.

Went today and missed the first one but bag 3, all head shots.... laugh . Hadnt checked my gun this season and it was shooting 3/4" high @30 yards. The squirrels Ive shot this year are all shot high in the head, so I turn it down to dead center @30 yards.

Stuck my head out the back door at 5:30AM and went back to bed. It's too dang hot for me, also. frown It's a long season, and I have enough in the freezer from last season to mix a batch of chowder up. Cooler days are ahead for sure. wink

I was gonna go to my shooting area to sight a couple guns in, but decided against that too. It's going to be fun enough cutting the grass today..

Here it is, Tyson...

Mac English’s Squirrel Chowder

Ingredients
- 4 to 8 squirrels, pressure-cooked or 
parboiled and deboned
- 10 cups squirrel broth (or beef broth)
- 5 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 tsp. each salt, black pepper, garlic powder
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon
- 2 oz. butter
- 8 oz. Velveeta cheese
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 pint half-and-half
- 2 cans evaporated milk

Directions
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the vegetables, spices, and bouillon. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Add the squirrel meat and simmer 10 minutes. Add butter and cheeses, and simmer while stirring until cheese melts. Stir in the half-and-half and milk and warm through.


It's good stuff!! You can substitute any meat you choose..rabbit, chicken, etc. (and don't call me "sir") laugh wink

Can you explain the squirrel prep portion? I/e I currently don't have a pressure cooker (but hope to soon) so from a cleaned and skinned squirrel what does a guy do with both the parks boil or pressure cooker options? The rest of the instructions are idiot proof so I comprehend lol Thanks! And sorry about the "sir" it is the way I was raised and the way my son is being raised. It dumbfounds me the looks I get when my son says "yes sir" or "yes ma'am " folks glare like I'm raising a cult child or something when I just feel it's a matter of respect and integrity and if my children had that instilled at a earlier age the world would be a slightly better place.
