Squirrel and Gravy
To dress the squirrel, rip the hide down the inside of the hind leg. Peel hide over the head, saving the head as that is the best, or tastiest part of the squirrel. While on the head, remove the eyes and ears. Slit the squirrel's belly and remove the entrails.
Remove the head and the legs, cut back bone in two pieces. Soak in salt water preferably over night.
