I've had buffalo, deer and elk. Of those, my favorite was the buffalo.

Also had rattlesnake and alligator but those are a whole different ball game.

Hey Bob...have you seen this?

Sometimes when I'm in pain, I'm just not really patient with folks....

Sorry you are still in pain. I know i don't have much patience when suffering. The lady at the Drs. Office tried to collect a co pay from me the other day. I took them a letter from the insurance company saying i had met my deductible. Can't they put a note in my file? I was in no mood for stupidity.

Good morning everyone!

You all have to play nice or go to your separate rooms and do without dessert.

Hey, I found the perfect gift to give everyone on my Christmas list this year!

I just wish someone could explain, to my complete satisfaction, why vision and dental aren't automatically covered. Aren't the eyes and teeth part of the body? Why do they have to be insured separately, or paid completely out of pocket even if you have good health insurance!!

That would be nice. Around here most dentists aren't "in network" for medical so you get little if anything from the insurance company.

He sure looks like he didn’t want cats.

Maybe he didn't think he was ready to look into the future at losing the next ones just yet. Guess the cats proved he could manage it.

He'd never seen one before, so I think he identifies them as a predator. Every day he get's better with them, as the chickens hang out with them a lot.

Perhaps if you take him out and show him the pigs are something you care about? Of course you have probably already done that.

Also had rattlesnake

Tastes like chicken, right?

You must have different insurance than we do. We pay full (adjusted per provider's deal with ins company) until we make the deductible, then we still have to pay the co-pay (usually $25) no matter what other than physicals.

Sorta/kinda! Kind of a wild tasting white meat. Years ago the family went to a little town in Oklahoma to see what a rattlesnake hunt was all about (oldest DS has always been a real reptile freak). The ones that were caught but weren't kept for one reason or another were skinned, cut into chunks and fried up for sale. That smell was the worst! Don't know if it was old oil or the snake, but I managed a couple of pieces just to say I'd tried it.

Not something I'd want on a regular basis!

Knife scabbard is rawhide wrapped in brain tan buckskin, beaded with various colored glass beads, my own design. Laid out on an 8 bar Hudson Bay blanket.

Wow!

Your starting to "test" my patience....reindeer are reindeer, Elk are Elk, Moose are Moose, Caribou are Caribou. All are great to eat...yes, I've eaten their meat...bear too! Didn't like bear.
Alot of native people use to make their moccasins out of moose and elk hide.

Me too..not bear and moose, had some antelope. Elk is best. Used to hunt. We have big ol mule deer here in Utah. Pheasant and grouse are good eats too.

I tried alligator a couple weeks ago...I wasn’t told what it was. Yuck!

 

[bruceha2000]

Was it yuck before or after you knew what it was?
