I hate to bring this up after the fact, but you shouldn’t eat any carnivorous animal “med rare” or anything less than well done.

Trichinosis is bad in bears, lions, pigs, and everything else that eats meat.

Better be safe than sorry. Put some scotch down your gullet to kill all those wiggly critters.

This is why I don’t hunt bear. I’ve eaten it and don’t care for the grainy texture but love the taste; I’d eat it any time I was hungry and knew it was killed in fair chase. It’s something else that keeps me from hunting them. Lot’s of ways to skin a cat … and that leaves me wondering if anyone has ever tried feral housecat? With apologies to Robin, I hear they are delicious and recommend that we all go out and whack and stack every free-roaming murderous fat cat we can find. 😈

I’ve been to a lot of chinese buffets. I imagine I have.

Only ever shot one. I’d like to kill all the country cats I see living outside, but I don’t have the heart for it. If people only knew how much senseless killing they did, maybe they’d keep them inside or not at all.

All meat is edible if cooked to the right temps. Just saw Scott Leysath “the sporting chef” go on a crow hunt and eat crow cooked in several different ways. He said it wasn’t great but was somewhat similar to duck and not too bad.

Out in Idaho, my buddy at the backstraps of the lion he killed and loved em. The guide took the hams to a wild game supper and everybody loved them.

I’ve skinned some ridiculously smelly bears and they all tasted delicious. You never know until you try it.

Heck, ever skinned a wild pig? Just awful smelling, ugly mothers, but some awesome meat on the table!

I love hunting from the ground, the more I do it, but I just feel like trees and whitetails go hand in hand. Anybody who kills whitetails from the ground with a tradbow are true human predators!

I do love the vantage of the high ground and I used to be a serious rock climber. Up high feels like home.

I can tell you that this is by far the sweetest bow I’ve ever put my hands on. When we hunt at Blackbeard Island, you get to hold a lot of trad bows, but I’ve never felt one like this.

If somebody stole it today, I’d drop the cash on a new one of the same model immediately.

I have a 1960’s Damon Howatt Monterey (hunter) that I thought was about as sweet a shooter as could be made, but I was wrong. Widow’s are worth the money!!

Sorry that came out all pixilated. Here’s a look at the skins.

Here’s a pic of the riser up closer. The snake skins are amazing too! After trying to do them on my samick, I can’t believe how well done these are.

Makes me all the more anxious to receive my new ” REPLACEMENT ”Super Kodiak from Gainesville. Then we can shoot in different places together .:D:D:D

Ha Ha!

I love one pieces. Doubt I’ll every buy a takedown but you never know. Love the simplicity and light weight!

Black Widow Grey Bark. 57lbs. The guy never even told me but it’s backed with western diamondbacks done at black widow.

This bow is a little heavier than I’m used to so my arrow setup will have to change. My 3555’s only shot okay with 90 grains up front so I’ll have to go to 5575’s.

The bow is a little noisy too so I’ll mess with the brace height and install yarn silencers instead of the beaver hide and string silencers on it now.

I haven’t shot a bow this fast since I shot a compound. There isn’t an inch of drop out to 20 yards and seemingly every arrow I shoot goes “there”.

Best bow I’ve ever had my hands on and most beautiful. It’s an 09 but it looks like it just came out of the factory.

Look out turkeys and then bears!

Etter, what mpg do you get from your Titan, I have a Navara same as the Frontier and get about 26 mpg combined but would like a bit more cab space. Would like an Amazon but HOW MUCH:shock:

A Prius pickup there’s a thought……….I wish I had not had that thought:oops:

People have made it for our wild game supper at the University of GA a few times but I can’t remember how it turned out.

If I were you, I’d do a fail safe recipe like bbq in a crock pot or smoker. I’d probably also soak it in salted ice water for a few days beforehand.

Good luck! Can’t wait to hear about it!

Also, I have to apologize to the original poster for totally hijacking your thread.

BTW- I thought about this when I was at the gym and I realize that I misspoke in my original post.

I do not in any way want to exterminate wolves. I think there are places in north america where they do just fine under the right controls. I absolutely loved hearing them in Canada and finding their tracks is a real treat.

I just disagree with the reintroduction of wolves that has gone on here in the last fifteen or so years. Sorry if that didn’t come across.

I’ve been in some cold water.

Jumped into a pool in north carolina with ice on the surface. Grew up swimming in a spring creek (51 degrees) by our deer camp in PA, etc, but that was the coldest I’ve ever felt.

I did it twice over the course of the week. I feel certain, if I’d have swam to the other side of the river, I’d likely not have made it back.

I’ll say one thing for it, I was LOADED with energy for hours afterward!
