eating what you kill...
 

this is probably not in the best section to put it in, but i cant really find a more suitable one. i was jus wandering who eats everything they kill, who eats some things and so on. im pretty sure almost everyone eats there deer and turkey, but are there any animals that u dont eat? what do u do with them? thanks alot

anything short of varmint/predator (fox, coyote) Them, I just skin and use to feed the crows. When I still hunted Chucks, they went to a old guy I used to work with. (he actually loved them)

I wont kill it if I am not going to eat it

RE: eating what you kill...
 

I eat game or give it to someone who will. I don't eat varmints and pests though. Wood chucks lay where they die for other critters to eat. I don't always eat squirrels or rabbits, depends on when I kill them. They don't always die in season around here[:o]. Depends on how much damage they are doing. I always considered them as cute rats pretty much.

Yep! Opossum, Raccoon, Armadillos, Squirrels, Rabbits, Gopher Turtles, Gators, Sand Hill Cranes, Hogs and Deer!

What I don't eat my dogs will!:)

Everything I've ever hunted I've eaten. Deer, Pheasants, Geese and Rabbit. The only thing I won't eat is squirrel. I just can't get past the fact that they are a tree rat. :DSo, I just give them to a buddy.

Use to Ihunted and shot dang near anythingavailable, but over the years I guess I got over it. I deer hunt now and other than the occasional snake I don't shoot anything else. I give away probably 90% or moreof the deer meat, usually after it goes to a processor.

I don't eat coyotes or any other pest, but anything else I hunt,I butcher andeat, or give to someone that will.

Fish on the other hand, I've got plenty of people that will take them, I hate cleaning fish.

I eat deer, turkey, ducks, goose, and that's about it. If I kill a coon I will give it to a guy in my club and his wife will fix it with sweet potatoes. I hunt the openeing weekend of squirrel season and normally kill a limit (hunt only with a .22 rifle) and I donate them to the camp cooking that they have every year.(I eat steak that weekend). Any predator will be taken to the gut pile for the coyotes to eat. Snakes are either left where they lay or taken back to the camp to show them off. I try not to kill the non-venomous ones but, sometimes I can't control my self. I don't shoot animals for fun, I wasn't raised that way. I enjoy hunting mostly for the comraderie I get from friends and it also allows me to spend time with my family. Kids that don't get the oppurtunity to get outdoors are missing alot, IMHO. Right before deer season we donate all the meat that we have left over from last year to a local charity that has a wild game cook off.
