The was an episode on Bizarre Foods (just the name of the show, I dont think its that bizarre) where they slow cooked it in a crock pot and it looked pretty good, I 'd eat it! Also they said that there little glands in the muscles that need to be removed before cooking or the meat will be musky...
Thanks JP but I am a Hypocrite because I love beef but cant deal with paying $$$$ for organic, free range beef... so I eat commerical beef... I do spring for freerange chicken and eggs (which is why I am now raising them)... but have yet to kill anything except fish (grew up fishing)... And I...
RaeRae2 your story is absolutely heartrending. I can see why you would make the choices you do ( I am similarly inclined, but do eat and enjoy meat, hypocritical I know)...
Love fried calamari, anything fried and crunchy on the outside actually... Snake meat is probably low in fat and high in protein...
Yes so glad its cooled off, everyone here assures me we get rattlers up here 2700 ft we are down slope and sort of wet land, so maybe it is that I heard they like...
O I was thinking deep fried maybe in cornmeal...
It was in the 100's a couple weeks ago but now back down to 50's at night 80's daily- summer is over I think here in the mountains...
I am Not of that opinion-- look at CA for the last 20 years-- sheep ranchers spent a couple centuries shooting trapping poisioning predators-- they switched to LGD about 20 years ago with a sharp reduction in predation -- (I found this info on some site, I think about dorper sheep/ or LGDs--...
But how do they know that they arent supposed to be on your farm? By the time they "know" they are dead, and like that one person said, for every one you kill there is 10 more right behind it....whats the point of the endless killing....
I know up in Pt Reyes there is a herd of elk/ some...
Thats what I was thinking... no way could I kill a cat (we have an indoor cat as well).... I guess the dogs will have to take care of the kitties.. I did say I was a wimp....
I guess what I am saying is that -- how do the wild animals know that your chickens arent theirs to eat? They were here living their lives and then we walk in and decide to have chickens... and rope off a chunk of their range and call it ours....
Thats why I like dogs (it could also be llamas...
GREAT PHOTOS! I love dogs as well as chickens-- we have 3 but my dominant female(Giant Schnauzer) really makes life miserable for the 13 yr old female (Boxer)-- would like to know how your females get along and what you did to get them to tolerate each other-- Females are fixed, the boy (9month...
Wow, I am impressed with your rattlesnake eating -- just curious what is the best way to cook them...
Have not yet ran into a snake up here but am told rattlesnakes do live here -- have only run into them camping so far (a few years back)....
Am a bit nervous b/c have found a few dead rats, 2...
