lots bluegill catfish and squirrel graced our table

Ahh, yesteryear. My Mom was a terrible cook (self admitted). Fortunately, we had neighbors that knew different ways to eat.

The absolute best was traveling over to Granny Dow's house near a small lake. Grandson Jimmy and I would ply our way around in a small boat and grab crawfish until we had buckets filled. Granny would boil and even shell out a full plate for us. THat was eating!

I had that happen too.

mom treated squirrel the same way as rabbit and chicken

either baked or fried, usually fried

my brothers and I and our friends, where all Avid small game hunters and fishers
