Squirrel Sleeping on Deck Rail

His eyes are open….maybe he was just spying the on us to find the most opportune time to make a dash for the birdfeeder.

Believe it or not, this picture was taken by the great rodent-killer and defender of the birdfeeder, Benjamin.  Last year his presence was feared amongst the squirrels, but it seems Ben’s reputation has waned amongst our yard’s rodents.

Squirrel Hunting

Benjamin and Noah have been hunting for squirrels in the farm fields that surround our house.

We gave the squirrel meat to a nearby friend and he cooked it up. Our Mom won't let us cook rodents in her kitchen. :)

You may notice that this squirrel looks different than the other squirrels. This is because this is a fox squirrel and not a gray squirrel.

This is the first squirrel that Noah's kileld and he was pretty happy about it!

Our First Squirrel Meal!

A couple of days ago (as you can watch in GTC Oudoors-Squirrel Hunting) we shot a few squirrels and Benjamin skinned them and gave the meat to a friend to cook.
Today he came over and brought squirrel & dumplings. It was very, very good! I was kind of leery about eating it at first, but the meat was very tender and tasted like-yes, you guessed it-chicken.

P.S. Benjamin had killed two squirrels and one of them was hunted on GTC Outdoors-Squirrel Hunting.

First Day of Squirrel Season: Success & Failure

This morning, the opening day of squirrel season, Benjamin set his traps and caught a squirrel. As seen in the above video, the squirrel escaped through one of the holes!
