I have tried it a few different times and the only thing I could eat off one was a few chops slow cooked in the oven. Other than that no way can I eat it. I gave a guide around 25 gallons of cherry pie filling that was given to me around 4 years ago. So that he could use it for bear baiting. He gave me a few stakes as a thank you. I told him the wife says she likes it but me I can not eat the stuff. My mom and wife keeps after me to shoot one but, I have never shot anything that I do can not eat or have mounted and ect.. Maybe some year they can get me to shoot one but, for now it is off the table.
