W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Originally Posted By: Wayne Dengler I have to laugh when I hear about how folks say that they can make game (or whatever) taste like chicken. Why go all the bother when you can just go out,buy a chicken a be done with it. I prefer to have my game taste like,game. Getting back to the sweet 16 which I got for free many years ago (legally). As I had said before the bbl I cut back to 18" and put a buttstock shell carrier on it but also installed a sling and an XS BIG front night sight on it. Even with the cylinder bore,it patterns well at 30 yards and is "bowling pin accurate" with slugs at 50 yards. That is my canoe/truck gun.

Muskrat,beaver,rabbit,partridge, it's all good. Would like to try snake. Have to be a cold day somewhere hot before I would try opossum,nasty, foul beasts. _________________________ Where ever you go, there you are

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7437 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	I think I would readily eat a snake before eating a opossum. Same with a bear. I've seen both eating the most rotten crap ever. At least a snake eats a fresh critter, not rotten meat. Many of my hunting friends eat bear meat, but I haven't been that hungry yet. A coon is there is somewhere in the middle. I've never eaten one, but would, over a possum, for sure.

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7437 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Don't know about shrimp, but I forgive them. Catfish from the cold Snake River are the best and I don't eat gater either. Mostly, I like elk meat, but fried catfish is a close second.

Wayne Dengler Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/01/17 Posts: 1634 Loc: Earth	Warren, I would imagine that a 'gator on your doorstep would be an eye opener for sure!!!! Reminds me somewhat of my brother in law up in British Columbia,Canada. They woke up one morning and looked out on their deck and saw two large brown bear in their hot tub!!! I asked him "what did you do" and his reply was "nothing". They waited for a while then the bears went on their way. They had a major clean up and repair job to do on their hot tub.
