    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.??

    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.

    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!  😁

    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.
