A friend and I went squirrel hunting today with my 17 M2’s. I was 6 for 8 and he was 5 for 9, not bad for his first time shooting the gun! The shooting was fast and furious taking less than 45 minutes and we did all our shooting in about 2 acres! This was at my MIL’s where I “knew” we‘d be lucky to see a squirrel or two. Boy was I wrong!
Anyways, I cleaned the squirrels and I have them all soaking in salt water now. My plan is to cook them in the slow cooker to “de bone” them and then make a stew with dumplings. Having never done this before like this, I’m wondering how long they should be soaked In the brine. I’ve read 1 hour to 3 days…. Any help would be appreciated!
