Squirrels and rabbits are usually two of the most misunderstood game meats out there. Non-hunters think they are too cute to eat and many hunters think they are a waste of time because of their size.

​

Well those hunters are wrong and the non-hunters may be right about them being cute, but they taste too good for me to pass up!

​

Both animals are super easy to break down and are simply some of the most tender game meats that you will ever come across when cooked properly. You can have a squirrel off the ground and ready for the pot in less than 2 minutes if you're handy with a pair of game shears.

 

I paired squirrels and rabbits together in the same department due to the simple facts that they are both small, mild flavor profiles and basically utilize the same cooking techniques.
