Hey Guys..

Pit..

Ohh Yaa Baby..Those are Eaters!!!!

Get a deep tray,, cover the bottom with corn meal,,spritz it with water and drop a couple of dozen of those bad boys in there for a few days...

Coat the top rim of the tray with thick wide bead of Vasoline so they can't slither out,,and let them feed on the corn meal for a few days.. The corn meal will clean their guts from sand....

Once they are $hitting corn meal thay are Good to go..

Karen Hood calls it Breading from the Inside...

Pop'm into boiling water to get the slime off and they are good to go!!

I had tossed a thread around a while back about eating slugs and the consenus was that they carry a lot of parasites, noteably lungworms and muscleworms.

From http://www.taiga.net/yourYukon/col401.html :

"For several years, Kutz has been researching parasites that show up in muskoxen as lungworm. In 1999, her work led to the research of Jenkins, whose PhD thesis is on lungworm and muscleworm infections in Dall's sheep.

"Slugs and snails are essential parts of the life cycle of this family of parasites," says Kutz, adding that the same group of parasites is also common in caribou.

"If it is a muscleworm, the females lodged in the muscles stick their butt ends in the blood vessels and lay their eggs," explains Kutz. "The eggs are transported by the blood stream to the lungs where they hatch, burst into the airways, and then up the trachea."

"Lungworm adults are already in the lungs and lay their eggs there. Their larvae also travel up the host animal's trachea, are swallowed, progress through the digestive tract, and are dropped onto the tundra in the animal's feces...."

This one will make you want to eat slugs too:

http://www.cdc.gov/NCIDOD/dpd/parasites/angiostrongylus/factsht_angiostrongylus.htm

"People can get infected by eating raw or undercooked snails or slugs that are infected with the parasite. In some cultures, snails are commonly eaten. Children have gotten infected by swallowing snails “on a dare.” People can get infected by accident, by eating raw produce that contains a small snail or slug or part of one. We don't know if the slime left by infected snails and slugs can infect people (for example, if the slime gets on produce that is eaten). Other ways of getting infected might include eating raw or undercooked freshwater prawns, crabs, or frogs. "

From all I've read, there are all kinds of parasites in small game and thorough cooking is mandatory. No time for gormet dillants-- cook the $hit out of your catch-- literally!

Ya, looks like a freakin snake! I remember stepping on those slimy things, barefoot at night on Vancouver Island. Gave me the creepin willys and I'd actually slide for a second on them!
 
Slug-Slidin....sounds like a new sport !!!!:D :thumbup:




Reminds me of when you slide 2 feet on some dog links, you look around quickly to see if anyone saw you and then do the leg drag for ten feet to get it off !!!
