Got thru whacking 193 prairie dogs and the gent who let us onto his property to shoot them waved us over to witness a cattle branding.

I have had the opportunity to relieve many a young bull from his, um... oysters, and have never thought they may be tasty. :barf: Thats just gross, man! :barf::barf::barf:

Haven't tried the prairie oysters, but the mountain oysters are good eats! (This is funny, my brothers, my husband & I were discussing these delicacies just today!!) I know, you just can't imagine the KNIFE WIFE eating such items, right!! :thumbup: Like Winston said, "Don't knock 'em unless you've tried them!"

Have a great week!

I'll be knocking them till the cows come home :barf: One certainty....when I breath my last breath I can say I have never had an animals "twins" (cooked or raw or whatever) in my mouth :foot: But that's just me :thumbup: :D, HOWEVER, just north of me about 30 minutes is a little place called Tiro and every year they have a "Testicle Festival" Yep, rocky mountain oysters! So they are popular????
 
Actually, it is close to Buffalo Gap. Oelrichs is about thirty minutes further south of there.
