Corey Anderson, former UFC and PFL Light Heavyweight candidate, described his national lifestyle and hunting practices during a recent interview in the Ariel Helwani show. Anderson has a 200 -hectare site in Indiana adjacent to a 500 -hectare crop field, where he combines modern facilities with traditional hunting to manage wildlife and process food.
Corey Anderson about eating squirrels
Anderson described his hunting arrangement and motivations. He said:
“I have a hot tub, cold plunge, sauna on my back deck. I can sit in peace at night, go to stars, planes go. I take a gun and start shooting squirrels, shooting goals … We have squirrels as big as Coyotes in Indiana – they eat my wife’s garden.”
He noted that squirrel populations can threaten garden plots, allowing him to be agreed and included in his meals. When preparing squirrel meat, Anderson explained that squirrel meat cooks, just like chicken.
“You can eat squirrels. You can let them stew, put them on the grill, smoke them out. It is like chicken but comes out of the bone like chicken. I prefer rabbit because I am more used to it.” He contrasted squirrel with rabbit, which he has more experience with cooking, but confirmed that both feasible protein sources are for home chefs who are willing to process wild game.
Hunt
Deer show represents another important focus for first UFC Star Anderson. “Deer are everywhere. I am a big deer hunter … opening day of the deer season is September 13. That is a holiday in the hunting community.” The official deer season of Indiana usually opens in mid-September and offers archery, firearm and muzzleladading opportunities for licensed hunters. Anderson emphasized the common aspect of the opening day and compared it to a holiday that brings hunters together.
Anderson described Bowhunting and emphasized the mental discipline that requires it. “Hunting with an arc is an art. You have to be secretly, move slowly enough so that the deer cannot see or smell you. It’s like fighting. You have to practice every day. It is therapy for my mind.” He compared the patience, the focus and physical control that was needed for effective bowhunting with aspects of combat sports training, framing and both a skill and a mental reset.
