Armadillo was good until they said you could catch leprosy from it; nobody I knew ever did. Wild duck and geese is good and in the South people shoot squirrels. Fish is always good. But squirrels are like tree rats, so I will not eat them.

Armadillo?????? I live in Texas where they are plentiful and usually dead on the road side.
How about publishing a "New Road Kill Cook Book"

Just a question "what is there to eat?" The things I have shot are basically hollow.

In Texas at least if a family has no meat in their home, they can legally shoot a deer and take it home.
Hunting season or not, it matters little when you have to feed your family. Obama was right when he said people are clinging to their guns and religion.
"Lord give me a straight aim, I need that deer"
I am afraid we are about to return to the old west days in a manner of speaking.

Turkey Spam has way less fat than regular Spam. It tastes good as well. Give it a try.

Spam is good....it cleans out the pipes and slides out of the can easily. The perfect combo.

Deer is good. Rabbit is good. Javelina is good. Armadillo was good until they said you could catch leprosy from it; nobody I knew ever did. Wild duck and geese is good and in the South people shoot squirrels. Fish is always good. But squirrels are like tree rats, so I will not eat them.

''Love it, hate it or laugh at it - at least it''s inexpensive.''

It''s also very unhealthy.

So we are reading about the gas stealers- punching holes in tanks and taking the $100 worth of gas. (Only do the plastic tanks! Not the metal ones!)

Times are desperate! Let''s get out our 30-30''s and 12-gauges and do some huntin'' - you will be habitat-loving, wildlife-aware, BLM-loving, enviros before you know it!

Spam - NO! Venison - YES!



Spinster2 and cfin are so right!
