This is a great dish that takes the flavors of deer and squirrel and combines them into an excellent medley of flavor. If you do not have a slow cooker this recipe can be done in the oven as well. If you choose to use the oven reduce cooking time by 2 hours (always check to make sure meat is thoroughly cooked before serving as some ovens differ) to reduce chance of overcooking,
