RE: Do you eat what you kill?
Will hunt for food. Most of the meat in my house comes from the animals I harvest. Love Elk, Deer, Antelope, and small game including Jackrabbits. Have eaten coon, beaver, and turtle. I shot a big 500lb black bear last year and couldn't get to it until the next morning. I think because of this the meat picked up a bad smell, none the less I have gone through most of the 200lbs of meat. Once it was cooked it tasted pretty good, the best was the Bear Brats I had made. Yummy.
This year I hope to harvest my first Mt. Lion and plan on eating all of it. I tried crow once, wouldn't recommend it.
Happy Harvesting!
