HTR. That follows with most any wild meat. Get rid of the fat and any glands attached to the meat and you are usually good unless you overcook it. |

Back to the predator subject, I know that there may not be a lot of gators where you live, but if you ever come across one while hunting, bag it, cook it and eat it.....you can thank me later as they kind of taste like frog....................kind of.  HTR. That chunk of meat in your fingers looks astonishingly like Chicken meat. Looks tasty! Course if I saw an Armadillo served on a table, like one would serve a chicken (like I can see in the background of that picture).... I'd be pretty grossed out. |

Pigeon has been suggested, and I'd eat it, but it's really just like a dove or something around here. So any suggestions? I'm still up for fox, just got to get a clean one. Done it- tastes just like dove, just a little stronger and tougher. Other unusual meat I've eaten is hutia or banana rat. I killed dozens of them while in GTMO. Fine eating indeed. Like rabbit with more flavor. |

Rizzo - try wolf next just, read an interesting thread about hunting them in the tech forum, here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/568180_UNsuccessful_Wolf_Hunt_Day_Out_with_the_New_AR___.html
Unfortunately it degenerated into the usual bitch fest, like always.

Stupid smart phones. Tough to type. If I ever get the chance to hunt one, I'll eat it for sure. I've cleaned some skulls, and seen them in the wild, but never had a permit for one. Someday, though . . . . |

LIZARD
We were out in the woods yesterday and my son was hunting with his trusty Red Ryder BB gun. He decided that he wanted to hunt for lizards, and I told him he could hunt them only if he ate what he killed. A few minutes later he brings me a big ol' lizard, so we dig a fire pit, he starts a fire with his flint and steel, and we're ready for a snack. 
We cook the lizard for a good 10 minutes - a nice, slow roast - and then he's good to go. My son got a little excited and got him a bit close to the fire for a bit, so he charred him a little. The video of him eating it didn't really work out the way I wanted it to, but here's a picture of his first bite. I told him to get right in on the belly, and he went for it. 
In the end, I had to show him how it was done, and I ended up eating most of it (not a new thing for me) but he definitely got his share of lizard. What a tasty treat! If you've never tried it, I highly recommend it. A bit chewy, but tastes quite a bit like canned fish - think kippered snacks. You eat them bones and all, and while some people eat the whole thing, I toss the head and tail - those are mostly bone anyway. |

And yes - I'll always guide a friendly hunter. Well, bobcats are my current fixation.. but seeing as Arizona has different species, I'd be up for something that I wouldn't find in missouri. This would require some planning I guess. I appreciate the offer, and it would be great. |

Raccoon is good when prepared properly. Get the fat off and cook it slowly with some seasonings (your choice) and/or some BBQ sauce. Just a little for flavor and to keep it moist.

LOL, Rizzo, you crazy sucker.
My dad commented to me many years ago, whether it be of two legged or four, if it stinks on the outside, DON'T EAT IT!! Hint, a 24hr pre-soak in 25/75 white vinegar/water does wonders at drawing out impurities. Depending on what it is, YMMV. |
