I had a bow gifted to me.


Not sure where it is but if i get that back I might just dabble in deer hunting and try it my self.

Haven’t gone in a few years but I really enjoy target shooting with my compound bow. I’m great at 30m, pretty good at 50m.

My son and I saw a hunting video about 10 years ago. It was a 10 year old girl who got her father to video her hunting squirrels with a 22LR.

When they got back she cooked it up with her father. Son said he wanted to try it so I saved the recipe. I can’t ever picture eating tree rats but never say never…

-= Dragon Breath Squirrel Recipe =-

Ingredients
• 2 squirrels, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons homemade pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon homemade onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon homemade garlic powder
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups mushrooms, chopped
• 2 tablespoons onion, minced
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1 Marinate the Squirrel: In a bowl, mix the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Add the squirrel pieces and marinate overnight.
2 Prepare the Coating: The next day, mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Roll the marinated squirrel pieces in this flour mixture and set aside.
3 Brown the Squirrel: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). In a skillet, heat the butter and brown the squirrel meat on all sides.
4 Bake: Transfer the browned squirrel to a Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 90 minutes. If the meat is not fork-tender, continue baking for another 30 to 45 minutes.
5 Make the Gravy: After baking, remove the mushrooms and create a slurry with water and flour to thicken the juices. Whisk until thickened, then return the mushrooms to the pot.
6 Serve: Serve the squirrel with the gravy over mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus for a complete meal.
This recipe balances flavors well, but be cautious with spices to avoid the "dragon breath" effect!

You know..when I see the tuna at the store I always wonder why some comes in pouches. I thought it was because maybe some people don't have can openers but now I'm thinking there's a whole mess of Y'all out there eating tuna from the can and they're just making pouches for the people cutting their fingers on the tin.

oh that tuna is gross.. i'm not sure why the pouches used, maybe for packed lunches or something?? i tried one when they first came out and couldn't even finish it!!!

all this tuna talk has me hungry for some no doubt!!! i do like mixing into thing as well but also like you i hate it swamped in mayo!! and i like mayo too.. just not tuna coated in it!! i like to cook it as well, like mixed with breadcrumbs and fried like a patty, add cheese and peas sometimes.. even a tuna melt on a muffin is really good sometimes. i mean i would prefer a real fresh tuna steak no doubt but i don't often get anywhere where you can get good tuna so i go for the can!!!!

had one the other day from your kitchen to mine, i made some hot honey chicken breast with what you gave me...

Dug thru the deep freeze looking for something but found other things and made a thing!
Still have several lbs of smoked & spiced apples and rhubarb and a box of puff pastry leftover from the holidays so I made a kind of cobbler.
Baked one sheet of pastry for a few minutes and the apple mix alongside it. Pulled the pastry and let the apple get hot then poured the apple on top of the prebaked pastry and covered it with the second sheet of pastry. Baked it for about 30 minutes then drizzled some ice cream caramel topping over the crust

I'd vote real because wild hogs are the most genius but dumbest fuckers out there.
Like dumb enough to get caught up in that, smart, or wily enough to survive it.
The messed up thing is that it's calling for it's pals and that's a street fight you don't wanna be in unless you have an AR15 or something to go semi auto.

AI and GenX is oil and vinegar man. We already don't trust shit then this comes along? Yeah right. Be a square dealer and straight shooter has always been my thing an AI is anti that.

Anyways...Happy Friday and I hope your sound is on!

I used to wait for the day that wild hogs would get up here. No way we could stop it without a border fence.

Now I’m not so sure I want to help deal with them. I love pork but these things are stupid tough and nasty. A stand is recommended rather than a blind. I’m a good shot but no one’s perfect.

Still, if the right opportunity came along…

"And honestly, it's giving the ham again."
That right there is why weed is the best drug ever!!! The pure joy and that flip to pot snob to describe it had me rolling!
I'd give her a fat sack of homegrown then sit back and watch the fun

Having fun and enjoy yourself with weed and she just gets it hahaha
And see in the background she has some sort of color changing light?
I swear light shows and stoners are like raccoons and shiny objects...Can't resist!!!

Watching videos of chicks hitting gravity bongs is why I got back into them. Stoner chicks just know how to have some goofy fun like that there and IDK what it is about ladies and gravity bongs but something just happens.
Like even my wife had some sort of magnetic pull to it so I got us another that can go into hookah mode

Most people have the wrong idea about feral hogs until they get up close. They're not wild boar which is good eating and they're not pork. They're pretty much an abomination that should not exist.
Like hoping for them to come around to me is like wanting rats to come live in the walls of your home and have some mean and viscous wild dog living out in the yard who attacks you and your pets every time you walk outside. And if it's not attacking you, it's tearing up your land and killing livestock.

I'd compare the meat to dog more than pork. Even the carcass is more like a dog from what I remember of the dog butcher shops in Korea. You could hang a feral hog in that butcher shop window and not know the difference between it and the dogs.
The backstrap is good eating but it's not like it's a delicacy or anything. It's the one cut worth eating after a long day hunting and killing the things.
The old way of hunting them is going away though and they're getting better results using trapping pens then you can get 20-50 at a time.

I wont post the videos here but if you want some good macabre, faces of death shit, enter these words into your googler and hit the search button...feral hog tannerite

I miss corn bread. No one alive makes it anymore. We tried buying the ingredients but it doesn’t taste the same. I like the cakey type or sweet muffins the best. Been decades since I’ve had it like that.

give my recipe a try man... it's very easy and comes out like the cake type you like!!! you probably want to add a little sugar, i'm diabetic so none for me..

1.5 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
i Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup buttermilk ( i don't buy buttermilk, i just use 1.5 cups of milk and add a squirt of lemon juice in the mix, same as buttermilk)
3/4 stick of melted butter
1/2 cup of whole corn

put a cast iron pan in the oven to get hot then mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and pour the batter into the hot pan and set it in the oven. takes about 20 minutes or so...

Thanks man! I gave away all my cast iron since we don’t camp anymore but otherwise I think we can manage that.
