Damn they were good and tasted like the dark meat on turkey. The locals said we was crazy because they carry bubonic plague....but a couple of the locals tried a bite and liked it very much. I'm still alive,that's been about 5 years now.
the plague that they may very well carry as well as squirrels and any other 4 legged creature that may have fleas is just that carried by the fleas that inhabite them!! but then agin the fleas gotta have it before they can pass it on ...kinda see a where this is going!!! when was the last time ya heard of an bubonic plague outbreak!!!!! ya know ifn they was tasty then great ya had a good meal!!! I gues I'm kinda wierd...when I was a growin up I learned as a hunter to only kill what ya was a gonna eat and eat wht ya kill!!!!
