    That’s not too bad. If you want, just give it a quick rinse under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. It’ll eat just fine!

    Squirrel is a pain in the butt for skinning as their hair seems to get everywhere. You can try rinsing or burning it off

    Put your squirrels in a bucket of cold water and ice before cleaning. It will keep the hair from falling out

    Keep washing it

    Just wash the hair off then dry. I always get hair on my squirrel meat, and it rinses and cooks up just fine.
