[carpsniperg2]

i have not ate to many things because i am picky about what i eat. but all the guys eating coons and such yuck lol i could not think of eating a oversized rat! 2 all there own but not for me lol

My mom made coon once when I was a kid. She did not tell us. I thought it was some the most sweet and tender prok I ever tried. It was really good from what i remember. Our dog, who would eat anything and I mean anything, would not touch coon meat. Strange

Here is an old Picture for all you coot haters around here.  Had a good gizzard feed that night long ago.



Oh and not making a rude gesture in the photo!  Stretched a little far getting out of the boat

I have a couple.....Went down to Oregon once to hunt a ranch. Ended up shooting a Peacock at the ranchers house with my bow since it was eating his plants around his place. We decided to BBQ it up, goota be like Turkey right!...Wrong!...Ended up being one of the nastiest things ever  , so bad that the ranch hands dog (who looked like it was starving) wouldn't even eat it, just took off with it then pissed on it!  Thats bad!

My Mt Goat was good, but very tough, as someone else already said, my grinder would bind up about every 2 minutes. Also had a rutted out mulie buck that I couldn't eat, made sausage out of the whole things and gave it away as Christmas presents.....

It was funny.. ... Here we thought we were being hero's for feeding that 'ol starving dog, and he wanted nothing to do with it..would rather starve than eat it...

I voted mudhen.

I shot a half dozen one slow duck hunting trip a few years back so that my young lab would have something to retrieve.  Always one to use what I shoot if possible, I breasted them out and brought them home.  I marinated them in teriyaki sauce over night and smoked them into jerky (3 full pans of chips).  I took out my reward, and it was the nastiest, pastiest, foulest thing I have ever tried to eat.  I gave a piece to my dog (Mind you, she would eat cat poop from the box every chance she had, so she was not exactly of high standards when it came to culinary tastes...) and she spit it out and looked at me like I was trying to poison her!

Have not shot one since.

Hmm I am wondering if it is a Westside/Eastside difference?  Never ate a Westside mudhen before, maybe they taste bad from what there eating?  I found westside mallards to be muddy tasting to me as well.

they were shot on the Winchester Wasteway....

[cascademountainhunter]

i voted fish (other) for squafish, good flavor but just too boney.... and i voted goat because they just arent that good to me. i preffer raccoon over goat... i havent tried everything on that list though.....

[Ripper]

I voted duck and alligator. Alligator is tough and fishy, duck is, ducky. My father-in-law raises and trains Golden Retrievers, so he does a lot of water foul hunting. At the end of the season all his birds get ground up and made into jerky. That's the only way any one will eat them. It's really good.

i have eaten deer, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, bear, pronghorn, pheasant, duck and goose and out of all of those i would have to say duck and goose would be my least favorite but i just make it all into jerky anyway, oh and frog legs are good but rather than say they taste like chicken ill say like a mix of fish and chicken

[Hangfire]

I have eaten Deer-Mule, BT ad WT, East and west side elk, moose, Caribou,pronghorn, Ruffed and Blue grouse, quail, Pheasants, ducks of several varieties and porkypine.  The worst was a large old porkypine and pronghorn. The young porky was good.
The duck nearly as bad as Pronghorn.
I once attended a seminar by Jim Zumbo. He said the best wild meat Caribou, the worst wild meat Caribou, before and after the rut.

A friend of mine who was n the Outdoor Life, this happened to me of Dec 2009, said the Caribou after the rut inedible.

few years ago my uncle won at auction a sturgeon fishing trip on the big c.The guide who took us got us to eat shad roe.We caught a couple of shad to use as bait and while one was still alive he cut it open and passed around the eggs thought I was going to gage.When I went to the phillipines many, many years ago I ate pig brains but at the time I was to drunk to give a s@$t doubt I would do that now.
