If you can ask if there is a special cleaning method I might try it.Ground hogs eat a lot of grass, so you would think they would taste OK. My brother used to trap for clothes money, we were poor when my parents were divorced. My mom has hunted rabbit and I have went coon hunting with the dogs. But I wouldn't mind trying rabbit hunting and deer hunting. I have relatives that have bears and stuffed turkeys in their house. I don't really agree with the bear hunting I don't think we have reached the overpopulation stage yet.Even though they say the steaks are good. You should have seen my kids eyes while we were visiting.
My sister is so bad ;we were visiting one time when they were younger and my kids asked what they were eating, they liked it.My sister said Bambi. you should have seen the looks.
I may not hunt it but I WILL prepare it and EAT it!
Let me know how you like it, My sister hates squirrels, They got in her house, It was built about 1860 and ripped her insulation out of the attic. She had the hardest time getting rid of them.I always think of the disney chipmunks when I think of her. I laugh at all her wildlife problems. She has a ground hog right now that she is trying to get rid of,It dug into her basement. When she opened the door to go down there, the ground hog was right at the top of the steps. She said she doesn't know who squealed loudest.Out here in CA I just have skunk and raccoon problems and also some possum that are the size of small dogs. We have occasional coyotes.I had a baby skunk come thru a small doggie door I installed for my cats. That was fun. The other thing when we first got married, my husband could not believe that my dad had deer horns on his car. He thought we were totally pulling his leg.
LOL, The deer horns are these 2 small horns you attach to your car/truck and they were supposed to make a sound that the deer could hear and keep you from hitting so many with your car. Maybe they got sued when it didn't work if not check with your hunting friends maybe they remember them, they could possibly still sell them. It was during the late 70's.
I have seen cow horns and moose antlers on vehicles. LOL
I would say fishing counts as you are hunting fish.I have also caught frogs with a fishing pole.:shoot::shoot: I like fishing for bluegill and bass,some pike. I haven't tried trout fishing but it looks like fun. I plan on taking my husband fishing. He has never done it. I wanted to take him ocean fishing, but I think I better start him out at a pond and work our way up. I am trying to get him additional hobbies before his retirement. Plus I have to pay him back. He signed us up for a Kayaking class at Newport beach I think. It was March or April and the guy makes us go out a little ways and flip our kayaks over. The water was so cold, I could not get the rubberband thing off that was holding me in the kayak. Good thing I can hold my breathe a long time. Then you have to row back with the wind freezing you, not my idea of a good time. Why not pick July.
I remember my father used to hunt ground hog...to me, it tasted alot like pork roast..it was good.
Thanks, I am going to have to try it now. If only I could get my sister in the mind to eat the ground hogs, she might never have to buy meat again.:chicken:
