NutterBuster's Family Friendly Nutter-Bustin' Contest

Sounds to me like you have no respect for our squirrel killing abilities...

Feel better, man. Rest easy knowing we're battling for second place.

So far it's looking like we have about 3 folks tied for second place, each with one squirrel. Some jokester got my hopes up, but I was bitterly disappointed when he revealed his ruse. I would LOVE to lay around the house this weekend sipping lemonade and watching the kill-pics roll in.

Y'all make me proud! Bust a Nutter! Whack a squack! Bring home the Limb Chicken!

2 nutters busted! King of second place!

@Nutterbuster bummer on the early season injuries.
at least you can always take a load off the bad foot and use your roided up arm for a float hunt. Not sure how far you'll get going in circles.....

J-stroke baby, j-stroke! Only amateurs drip water in the boat switching sides. :D
 
I just picked up a pellet rifle for this, unfortunately the daily limit is only 6, dont think I'll be catching anyone, lol! At this point I'm just hoping to get a few on the grill!

It looks like y'all are definitely gonna get Saturday as a gimme. Dearly Beloved teamed up with both sisters and my mother while we were having an "innocent" dinner at the local hibachi. Better make the most of it, 'cause I'mma have a vendetta next weekend!

Man you should have saw that one coming. If you are invited to a dinner with a wife, two sisters and a mother-in-law, you are the reason for the dinner.

Edit: I also have a new respect for your squirrel hunting addiction if your wife thought that type of intervention was necessary
 
So I did end up sending one squirrel to that big white oak in the clouds. No pics since he fell out of a magnolia in my backyard and went "splash."

I have graciously decided not to count this one, since I lack photographic proof of his demise. Anybody other than @zer0 reppin' in the squirrel woods last weekend?
 
Just finished a plate of squirrel and was wondering what is everyone's favorite cut?

I'm going with the back loins, something about ripping the meat from that little tiny spine just speaks to me.

The inside loins are good. TBH though, a lot of times I just skin and debone the back legs. Kind of like debreasting a bird in my mind. Most of the meat with as little work as possible.
 
LOL, that got lost in translation. Note for later when asking about a favorite cut, specify "cut of meat"

Slit across the anus. Step on tail and pull up on back legs and peel him out. Those front shoulders are so tender!!!!

I've done the tail-pull and the back slit method. Both are super slick. I gravitate towards the back slit, just because cleaning 8 of anything gets old quick, and squirrel guts suck. I highly encourage new hunters to give just the back legs a try. Easiest tonget to and least bony piece of meat. You can do one in under a minute that way.

Of course, it only takes about 2 minutes to gut one out properly.
 
I'm on the board with two. These are probably my first squirrels in over a decade. Thanks for starting the contest. I tried the trail method for the first time and I'm sold! It's pretty slick and way faster than what I used to do. The wife reaffirmed that she won't be eating squirrel.

My fears of missing out on deer came true. I had two decent does at ten yards. I did manage to scout a good chunk of ground for deer and have a few trees picked out. IMG_20180927_093745987~2.jpg

That's what I'm talkin'bout!

I prefer to hunt with a 20 gauge and keep a slug in the breast pocket for that reason. Squirrels like mast. Deer also like mast. Sometimes chasing squirrels leads you to areas you wouldn't necessarily expect deer. Which is exactly where deer like to be.

I shot a nice 8 point that way last year.

Glad you got out there and had a good time. I think that puts you tied for second place? ;)
 
It's just archery season for deer right now in MD. Muzzleloader opens up in late-October.

There's so much mast right now and the squirrels are so paranoid on this piece of public, it was a tough hour of hunting. I actually got both in pines. I totally forgot how much I like squirrel hunting. I did it so much as a teen. It brought back some memories.
