azgreg Speaking of feral cats. My wife feeds the neighborhood cats twice a day. The majority of them are tame and loving even. But, we have one momma cat who had 5 babies recently that are wild as all get out. The momma runs away if you get near and the babies do the same.

Unfortunately they found a small opening and are currently living under my house! I am waiting till all 5 kittens and mom are out so I can seal up the opening they are using! Honestly, having wild cats under the house might make sure there are no rat/mice living under there which I have also battled in the past.

    backinit Deer is good, but has been a long time since I shot one myself. Have gotten quarters from friends that I turned into deer jerky in the past, but not sure I have the freezer space anymore these days.

        Dufferman I ended up with just over 100 lbs of meat. We took about 15 lbs of trimmings added approximately 8 lbs of pork to it (expanding the meat even more) and made sausage with it. Truthfully, freezer space was tight.

            Many moons ago, a buddy and I caught an American Eel hook & line and kept/cooked it. Delicious. I know
            why they are protected now... Love fresh caught freshwater or ocean fish.

              My family has roots in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. A family member came to visit us many years ago and brought us Karaboo sausage and a Karaboo roast. From what I remember it was very tasty.

              My dad was a hunter and also liked to fish. Although we did fish often when I was young, I've never liked eating fish or seafood. We did have venison and other game now and then, it's not bad if it's cooked well. I've had some pretty gamey game though, if you know what I mean. Probably the weirdest meat was muskrat. Actually didn't taste that bad, but smelled HORRIBLE while it was cooking.

              Well, if you count fish, then I've caught and eaten lots of wild game. 😜

              I have eaten deep fried rattlesnake but I don't think eel is on my bucket list.

                  Went and caught some fish today to put in the freezer. Even kept a pretty decent size Bluegill hybrid to cook hole for my son who has never had bluegill. He is pretty adventurous when it comes to food and will try just about anything once.

                  I've eat a ton of different wild game and still would. I just can't kill or clean it.
