Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is my dream folks, campin' and huntin' with my boys, sons and grandsons (and any daughters & granddaughters with the inclination to go along...but you gotta hunt) in the fall woods. Leaves fallin' down and the sound of squirrels barkin', chitterin' and cuttin' nuts. I made this recipe up out of my head just now, got no idea what it tastes like (but I'm goin' squirrel huntin' next week and I'm gonna find out). I'll let you know.
