You know, the older generations know what they are talking about when it comes to hunting game. I was told when I was younger that snapping turtle was delicious, I thought they were crazy. Tried it in my teens and now I like turtle at least once a year. My great-granny swore before she passed that groundhog and opossum and coon was delicious if fixed like a roast. I broke over and tried groundhog when she fixed it....she was right. I could not make myself try coon or opossum, but knowing her, the way she cooked, I probably would have loved it. Both she and my late uncle swore that hawk was tasty if fixed properly. I can cook, and cook well, but my one regret is not spending more time in the kitchen with her learning some of her tricks.

ok, I owe more tax now.

I fully understand your personal hatred. The ONLY thing keeping me from declaring open season on them last year was the thought of jail time. Hawks truly are beautiful creatures, when they are not circling my yard. I took these the day Chiquita's chicks were hatching. This guy was perched on a tree on the hill in front of my house. I know he was exhausted as the crows had been chasing and harassing him for 2 days. Go Crows!!

Wow, nice picture. After I got chickens, I realize that I just LOVE birds.

Yes turtles are really really tasty. I am not crazy about meat. I can live happily for a really long time if I am only allowed eggs+veggies. I can live happily forever if I am only allowed eggs+veggies+sea/river food. But being a Chinese, I've had many kinds of meats. In my hometown, it is really normal to eat turtles (legs are meaty), and then you grind the shell for medicinal purpose.

Tax: sweeties scratching in their favorite area.
