Love them crawdaddies.

We used to eat freshwater clams but they are getting rare due to invasives.

Do you guys really eat squirrel?   Not something I hear of anyone eating around here.   Deer.  Elk.  Bear.  Grouse.  Dove.  Pheasant.  Antelope. Turkey.  These are the things we mostly think of when hunting.  No trapping anything to eat though.  Deer, Elk, and Pheasant are the big hunts out here.  We have the Mule Deer here.  Big deer!

I gave up eating squirrel, I have high cholesterol. Lol

You know...there used to be a restaurant here that served "lamb fries"....I miss it....

The owner often lamented to me how hard it was getting to get the raw ingredients for them and calf fries due to the trend to chemically castrate the animals....

But....yeah....Testicle festival....I'll bring my balls....but rather eat some deep fried with cream gravy......OOOOOHHHH....Lordy, them's good eats.....

But I like mudbugs , too.....and boiled green peanuts for dessert!!!!

Mmmmmm.....mmmmmmuhm!!!!

Scg: how are the turnip, mustard, and collard greens?

They're growing but I don't have any idea what they're supposed to look like or how thin they ought to be.

I usually sow the seeds very close together. You can eat it raw like baby spinach. Be sure to harvest the turnip roots if you thin those. Collards will eventually need to be thinned to about 1 plant per 12 inches
