Squirrels and Turnips

[jakenh]

Had some turnips and radishes growing out at the back of the property we pulled out of the ground. My daughter and I went on a little squirrel hunt in order to have a little bit of meat to eat with them.

My wife made a delicious squirrel/turnip/radish soup. I unfortunately don't have the recipe, but thought I'd share the photos anyway. Some of you creative lot here may be able to recreate it at home.

Some of us city to homesteading just buy it and the box.

These are the typical two in the hunting stores.

Did you or the wife dress the squirrels? Whoever did it did an excellent job, they're so small, but there doesn't look to be any skin or bone left!

Can't say I've had squirrel before, but that soup certainly looks appealing.

Also, the look of pride on your little girls face, that's so wonderful.
