The squirrel pot pie turned out excellent! Plus it was super simple. Pie crust, can of mixed veggies, can of cream of mushroom soup, 1TBLSP minced onions, 1TBLSP of garlic pepper, and a qt. baggy of boned out squirrel meat. Dump in pie crust, cover the top with crust. Shove in the oven at 375 degrees for 45-50 mins. or until the crust is golden brown. Make sure you slit the top crust so steam can escape before baking. It's uber good!  ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii198/maddog1951/Squirrel%20season%202014/SQUIRREL%20HUNTING%202014%20075_zpsyydzhikj.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii198/maddog1951/Squirrel%20season%202014/SQUIRREL%20HUNTING%202014%20076_zpsudkp5oui.jpg) maddog

My squeeze makes a heck of a squirrel pot-pie too! She usually makes a couple large casserole dishes full, for plenty of leftovers and lunches for my work bucket. It's an especially useful dish for the some of the older/tougher squirrels that can be a bit chewy cooked otherwise. dave

Dang, MD, I just ate and now I'm hungry again.
I've been making mine in a big rectangular baking dish, but I think a bunch of one serving round ones would be cool. Wonder if you could make em, freeze em, and bake em?
When I was a kid, mom used to send me and my sisters to school with little meat pies she'd baked out of a stash she'd made and froze. She always made sure we ate good.

okay boys, where do you get the small individual pie crusts [ie like marie calendar size chicken pot pies]? I'm no good at making the crust, nor do I have those small individual pie pans.

Mike, I never found the little;e crusts for sale, always use Marie Callendars in the full size, let them cool and set up pretty well, then cut out a wedge!

My wife just told me the same thing. Next time I make one, I'll cut into 6 wedges and freeze to wedges in tupperware bowls, to go along with the limb chicken chowder that's already in the freezer. Oh yeah, the last two pieces I heated up from above said pot pie, I topped it off with some Sweet Baby Ray's bbq. DAAUUMMM. that was good! maddog

Bake, wedge, freeze, got it.
I wish I had time to do up a batch tonight. I got a bag of old tough guys that need softening.
And I'd still like to find a stack of those little one serving sizes. I like a lot of crust with the gravy.

Took two shots and missed both on Friday afternoon. Saw a bunch of those raccoon looking fox squirrels, but they're not legal to shot on that WMA. Their behavior is distinct from the legal grays. They like to stay high up traveling, but they're not as flighty as the grays have gotten lately. That's two trips in a row with nothing to show.

I've been sick and couldn't go hunting; made it out this afternoon for a while but didn't find any. Still great to finally be able to get out and get some fresh air, gorgeous afternoon here in Alabama.

It's been pretty down here too. Snuck out this evening for a couple hours and got one, but there's not much moving. Real quiet in the woods.

Missouri season closes February 15th and stays closed until the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Doesn't bother me after killing a big fox squirrel years back that was pregnant with a bunch of well developed babies that I discovered when I field dressed her. I suppose that could happen at other times of the year also but it never has other than this one time and I didn't care for it.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I work on a golf course. I run the grounds department. Spring, summer, fall, my Black Mouth Cur goes nuts over all the squirrels on the course. Winter comes and I go out with the pellet gun to shoot some of the thousand squirrels down to him and.......not a damn squirrel to be found anywhere......
talk about frustrating. come April when the snow melts, it warms up and season is closed, they will be EVERYWHERE!!!!
Life is but the memories we've created.....Sully Erna
