no, I'm very specific about what is good, Real American football season food.

it isn't a "make someone sick" thread.

So when's deer season up there Cal? Done right that can be some real good football day food.?

Every now and then I see a couple of wild turkeys from my back porch going along in the opening I have in my woods behind the back fence. Since I own part of those woods I'm sure I could get 'em, but not sure the next door neighbors who also own parts of it on either side would be so forgiving.??

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Wildlife Council has approved regulations for the state's 2018-19 hunting season. The deer archery season will run from Sept. 29 to Feb. 3. The youth deer gun season will be Nov. 17-18. The deer gun season will run from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2 and Dec. 15-16.May 19, 2018

I spend a lot of time in the woods, we don't allow hunting. I've had a couple of neighbors ask permission during archery season,

to got on our land and get a deer that kept running for another 20 yards or so. I respect them - said "sure".

They brought a nice tray of venison and venison gravy.

If one day we need food, that would be great dinners. Squirrel - I grew up hunting squirrel and pheasant. Ah, pheasant is outstanding - but they froze out in the blizzard in...76 and 78?

I'd love to go wild turkey hunting someday. and wild boar. Always wondered how good the bacon would be.

I have seen turkey here in RMNP on this visit to Colorado. Last year I saw a flock of about 5-6 crossing the road on the way up to Bear Lake.

When I lived in Kansas (during Dodge City days?LOL) I went pheasant hunting with a friend and then later duck hunting. Those pheasant are so sneaky it's hard to spot them even between the rows of harvested wheat until they pop up and fly. Great tasting for sure.

Squirrel truthfully I have never hunted or eaten. When I was a kid I found a baby squirrel that had fallen from the nest with a broken leg. I nursed it back to health using milk and an eye dropper until it was fully grown & healed. It would run up and down my arms and back and jump from kid to kid. Then it started staying out in the trees for hours before coming "home" and then overnight, until finally a few days at a time. I think he found a girlfriend and went wild because he disappeared for months. Then one day I spotted one outside, brought some pecans in my hand and sat down calling his name. He slowly and carefully came up and took them one by one until he had his fill and went back up his tree. Never saw him again, but I know that was him. So I just don't hunt 'em or eat 'em. Too many fond memories of my "little fella".

BTW how do you and I wrangle licenses for "youth deer gun season"?

I was coming home from shopping and saw 8 or so wild turkeys crossing snow road right past W.130st. First time I've seen them here.

Wild turkeys are making a comeback. I've seen them a couple of times on my bike rides south of Dayton. Regarding shooting 'em- a .22 with a scope is a nice quiet solution. (Regarding a .22, I have a story about that one later.)

One thing that we've done too good a job of is restoring the Canadian goose population. Back in the late 50s and early 60s- they were rare. Now, there's bike paths along our Great Miami River I won't use- unless there's been a heavy rain to wash away the unavoidable one per square foot crap the flying poop machines have deposited. They won't even get out of my way 1\2 the time. (I've debated with my wife what would happen if I deliberately hit one with my bike) My brother and I used to have a standing joke about "the quality goose gun", an over\under 10 gauge magnum shotgun. I swear, sometimes they're so thick, I bet I could nail 5-6 of 'em with one pull of the trigger.

As far as small wild game, I've pretty much tried it all (except goose), and don't much like it. Pheasant is tolerable, but just no to rabbit, squirrel, and duck (yuck). Venison isn't high on my list either. I decided if I'm not going to eat it, I'm not going to kill it.

Getting back to my story of the last critter I shot. My pal used to have a farm down near the Ohio River in Indiana with no closed season and no daily bag limit. Went down there with Grandpa's .22 Browning semi-auto that I had just put a 9X 'scope on and I was going to sight it in. Went out back, set a bunch of cans on top of a fence, backed off 100 feet, and was going to plink them off. Just getting ready to shoot- I can't freaking believe it. A quail decides to land on the fence. Ready, aim, fire. Guess I'm sighted in OK. Had Quentin the Quail for Thanksgiving dinner.

I would love to try quail. Wildlife - depends on how you process some of this stuff. Everybody has their own tastes.

Froglegs are also really good, like squirrel. I hear Canadian goose is good, but you have to brine it overnight, something like that.

Never tried duck. I really, really want to try rattlesnake. My cousin was in special forces in laos and cambodia. One day, back in the 80's...Dad and I went down to WV to my uncle's funeral. Their homeplace was 250 acres - you can see the skyline drive from their back porch.

I tried to get my cousin to with me - but he wouldn't go rattlesnake hunting with me at night, up on the mountain. picky, picky, picky.

So I didn't go, either.

What could go wrong there?

Actually the cottonmouths, copperheads also kind of spook me enough......if around.

........but I'll always eat venison done right! With gravy and onions and mushrooms and mashed potatoes, ummmmmm.

LOL! When I was 15 I got bit on the toe by a copperhead. I should have thought to have my siblings fry him up for me after they killed him. Well I think it was them. I suppose he could have died from biting such a venomous bastard, even when I was young.?

Try something different lately? I did, saw there you can order a delivered PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA online and if you enter 25DISC in the PROMO CODE you get 25% off your entire order.....on your Discover Card.

A few weeks ago, got 8 wings (tiny) large thin crust pizza (lousy) and chocolate chip cookies (not bad), a $3.00 delivery charge NOT THE TIP, plus tip about $30. You can track your pizza entirely online, from order/cook/box/out for delivery. Not a good pizza.

Well I just tried a deep dish large (I measured it, it was 12" not really large), $19.99 delivered with tip.....it was awful!! Not cooked right, soggy, half is still in the frig.

Live and learn, never again, NOT GAMEDAY FOOD. I'm sticking with WEDGEWOOD PIZZA!

You know I like Philly Steaks and steak sandwiches in general, here's a GAMEDAY or any day variation......the zucchini are starting to roll in now.

Cheesesteak Zucchini Boats

YIELDS:8 SERVINGS PREP TIME:0 HOURS 5 MINS TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 30 MINS

INGREDIENTS

4 zucchini, halved lengthwise

1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 large onion, chopped

2 bell peppers, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb. sirloin steak, thinly sliced <---- OPTION: Can use your favorite steak here if desired.

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 c. shredded provolone

2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides into a large bowl to use later. Transfer zucchini boats to a large baking dish. Brush with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until just tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion, peppers, and scooped out zucchini then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Increase heat to medium-high and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and season with oregano, salt and pepper. Cook until seared all over, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Fill zucchini boats with cooked vegetables and steak, then top with provolone. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

We often stuff zucchini boats like this and grill them. So many different combos you can stuff with. These look great. My wife and I are 6 months into keto so these are a primo recipe for us.

Oh yes zucchini the perfect grilling, chilling, stuffing, whatever food plus economical and good for you. We love to cook and eat well when I see something delicious, quick and easy, interesting either economical or gourmet I send an email to a group of friends a couple times a month. Plus we have a ton of cookbooks, nice hobby...... and we're both RETIRED NOW!
