IF you're able to follow these squirrel hunting tips then you better know how to clean squirrels. Although it's not the most fun thing to do, you'll get used to it.
First remove the feet, head and tail. Second, cut a small slit in the fur across the back about halfway between where the head and tail used to be. Then work the slit with your fingers until you can get a good grip. Pull the fur apart until you get to the legs, work on the skin around the legs until the fur comes completely off. Then, lay the skinned squirrel on its back and cut down the center of the squirrel from one end to the other. Make sure that you cut completely through the pelvic bone so the colon can be complete removed. Start by putting your fingers behind the heart and you usually can pull out all the guts at once. Soak the squirrels in water and salt overnight in your fridge. You might want to freeze them if you are not going to eat them within a day or two.
Once you get the hang of following some of these squirrel hunting tips, you'll see more squirrels in the woods than you'll have shots for.
