I will be getting sheep this spring to raise for meat and I am also getting two baby American alligators in january to raise for meat and their hide.

While it is minor amongst all of the other reasons that I am not religious, I would never be a Muslim or a Jew because then I couldn't eat bacon!

I've never really heard of anyone eating squirrel.

How's it taste?


Ps: for the guy who tricked his gf into eating meat unknowingly, that's incredibly rude and disrespectful and I would have thrown your butt out onto the curb.

Squirrels taste great :) my favorite is stew with them just because their smaller so takes less to make the meal but its good. First bite is the hard part cuz you can't believe it will be good but after that your pleased with it. I've made squirrel stew for a few of my buddies who never had it cuz they grew up in cities and now they want to hunt in the city for them. I told them that's a no no lol.

Haha see I'm a city dweller so all I can think about is people going around trapping some city squirrels and stewin them up haha.

I support hunting for food (not for sport). Good on you guys who do it!!

I hunt a lot of game but anything I take I use all the meat I tan the small game hides and donate the deer ones. I love hunting living in a city now has limited me to the amount I can do. I don't kill something if I'm not going to eat it and use everything I can, I love animals just love to hunt too :)

I hunt for the sport of it and I think that anyone that does hunt, save for a very select few who literally hunt so that they will have something to eat, enjoys the sport of it. It is incredibly expensive and time consuming! That said, I do eat what I kill, from squirrels to geese to deer. Nothin' like some wild game cooked right! I must have made literally gallons of pronghorn antelope chili last fall/winter with meat from a pronghorn that I took in WY in October and some roasted chilis from Hatch, NM. Great stuff!

I want to go pronghorn hunting one year it seems like a good time. An I suppose with all the time, money and energy that goes into hunting and setting up you gotta enjoy the sport or your not gonna go out there mornings when it's super cold and the blankets are so nice haha. All I know is any time I'm hunting I'm relaxed and having fun it's my ultimate me time.

This, IMO, is the way to do it. Not feasible for most of us, I'd wager, but my theoretical ideal. Good on you!

I just like knowing where the food that I'm eating came from but, most importantly, I like know what is in it. I know that the only thing that goes into vegetables from my garden are water and sunshine, and that my dad's cows are 100% grass fed. He doesn't supplement ANYTHING to their diet and they have free range of our 700 acres in the Ozarks in central MO. I will only feed my sheep grain very sparingly as a treat, that way if I need them to come to something I'll be abe to put some grains in a can, shake it around so that they hear it, and they'll follow me likes goslings/ducklings follow their mothers!
