Who was fattening up for winter, the bear or you?

Both!!!!

 

[meako]

Apparently or so I have heard...you steep the bear in a wild turkey bourbon baste/ marinade until tender.

 

[waynorth]

That Bear tasted like the finest/richest pork roast you ever had!!!

I've had the liquid Wild Turkey, but not the bird. If at some point in my life I can't buy a turkey at the market, I might get out my scatter gun!

No shotgun! .22 LR to the head at 100 yards. Or 30.06 at 300 yards.

I'll keep that in mind, Vince!

I forgot about carls lounge. This would fit better in there. So, if a mod wouldn't mind moving it.

You can hit the "report" button in your post and request a move. In the meantime:

I just pulled my Case 3Finn out of the washing machine.
Just shows how clever I am to hide a few choice knives in socks in the laundry hamper.
I ran a plastic fly-swatter handle into the sheath to encourage it to dry straight.

 

[redsparrow]

Hope it turns out well despite all your clever planning.
And you just have a very clean 3Finn.

Despite my clever planning!!??
At least it was only one of the four (I'm quite sure).
I wasn't going to take a picture, so it wouldn't have happened, but it seems to have happened anyway.
Thanks. It'll be fine.

Always good to have backups.

I like meat...but the thought of eating the flesh of carnivores lacks appeal....but then bears are omnivorous and some fish eg sharks are carnivorous....just thinking about Charlies rich roast pork / bear comparison....Certainly the best pork I've ever tasted was in NZ...shot by an arrow....it was dark red meat and v tasty....but wild pigs are also omnivores....

 

[hornetguy]

Wild turkey is very tasty.... they are not nearly as "fatty" as domestic ones. The breast portion is smaller, leaner. There doesn't seem to be as much meat on the leg/thigh area, either...

I like this Old Fashion Horehound Stick Candy, but I haven't been able to find any yet this year. Last year, about this time, I purchased 3 boxes, but that only lasted me into the spring... guess I'll have to get 6 or 10 boxes if I can find it this year.

Last year's picture.

Anyone else like this candy?

There’s a very small local grocery chain that carries Red Band every year starting Thanksgiving. Mast General Store carries it but it’s double the normal price.

Could be may be!

Where’s my Benelli SBE

I think my point earlier about meat...on reflection is I don't find the thought of dog or cat meat appetising....my SAS survival handbook also warns against the toxic levels of vitamin A found in Polar Bears Livers.....can't ever see that being a problem for me personally.....as for Crocodile...tastes like a chicken that lives in a pond.

Jon, I don’t think a croc would have an issue with eating your dog or cat. That and chicken don’t have LOTS of teeth .

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

vitamin A found in Polar Bears livers

I believe that goes for pretty much all obligate carnivores.

 

[screened porch]

But not those that are debt-free.
Rare animals, admittedly.

Caught these two on my driveway camera. Not sure if they are admiring themselves, or they think our car is their Uber ride!
They were chasing each other around the car!
I think that camera is in "Turkey Detector" mode!

I suspect fowl play at foot.
