Frying venison & the game warden,,,,

I don't do innards. Even Eskimos leave that on the ice.

Our DIF&W here in Northern Maine , otherwise known as "The County" , are really some very open persons , even in their day-to-day operations !! Mind your Ps and Qs , be cordial , you'll be o.k. !!

Guess it’s my southern heritage I just like liver, chicken, beef or deer. Pork liver in a Pate. In Florida for the winter after the weekly range visit with the percussion revolvers I hit a local food mart for a drive home snack of fried chicken gizzards or/and livers. Comfort food.

Never fried no deer meat but the livers were always served that night fried up with bacon and onions then simmered in brown gravy. For some reason hearts were left with the gut pile.

Hearts are the best part , There are any number of hunters I know who carry a small container of garlic butter to fry up sliced heart . Any of you guys hang your deer or meat for 2 weeks in a cooler before butchering it ? if you want tender venison ,skin off the silver membrane before cooking , it shrinks in the heat and sure toughens up the meat . Back steaks with the blue membrane removed then cut across the grain into ½ inch steaks and fried quickly in a pan using garlic butter , 1 minute a side ,are hard to go past .

Maybe in the past. Now you have all those west coast transplants. Isn't going to be cowboy Texas much longer. May have to give it back to Mexico if this keeps up! ( just kidding about the give back )

Is that just wishful thinking BOSTON Bill? Well forget it , the young Texans of all colors brown, black, yellow, green, red, and white are just as TEXAN as us old codgers, some of them even hunt big feral hogs with KNIVES! Many of them have been to the sandhill war and Awfulgandastan for their training.

Now....there's something you don't see every day!

Beto O 'Dork does not stand a chance--in Texas you do not threaten to take a
cowboy's guns!

Don't look now, but NO Democrat stands a chance in Texas ever again. They've tailored the election laws to make sure of that. The party in power controls whose votes are even counted and if the 'wrong' guy wins.... they just de-certify it. Neato, huh?

You folks might have all this nomenclature a bit skewed. 'Bout 30 years ago , our state game commission , as it was called, evolved into a bloated . self centered , bureaucracy , that began turning on the very people that funded it , .......hunters ! They brought truck loads of out of state coyotes in to kill off the deer herd, Tried to plant mtn. lions in the woods , stocked Pine martins state wide , to kill off the "big woods" small game populations , and kept bear populations on the rise to further damage deer fawn numbers. Then , the commission "BLAMED" hunters for the current problems generated by the commission's own insanity. The current commission is now called , the " STATE BLAME Commission". Their goal is to get rid of hunting with firearms. Ya gotta love it.......Put enough predators in the woods to kill off game populations , and claim the need to do it as , "scientific management " . The result of all this , "scientific management " , is the need for more hunting license funding. Again , "BLAMING" hunters for complaining about fee increases. Does all this sound familiar ?????

Wait till they bring in the wolves.

Dad always has called it silver. My grandpa has been a butcher his entire life and we learned from him. Got to age them it makes the taste more mild and the meat more tender. Deer done right is an entirely different experience.

Here in New Zealand the absolute standard way of hunting wild pigs is with dogs , finders , bailers and the occasional holder then sticking the pig with a knife , because of the nature of the country the dogs are fitted with GPS tracking collars . The hunter must be as fit as his dogs . I am a deer stalker and have little or no interest in pigs . We have Red , Sika, Fallow , Whitetail , Rusa , and Sambur deer , Himalayan Thar ( mountain goat) and European Chamois ( mountain antelope), as well as Hares , Rabbits , Australian opossums and wild pigs , no seasons , no limits, either sex . Permits are required for Govt land , or permission of the land owner , that is it .

The GPS bit is new, But pig hunting (We don't use dramatic terms like' Wild Boar') is other than the pick up with dogs aboard . Has'nt changed since the dawn of time or men & dogs part of it, If the Boar spear bit isn't useual . I just shot pigs as I happened apon them no dog pack. Just a Beagle that wasn't exactly meant to persue pigs .He persued everything else mind mostly beyound my reach but he was good company & as good as a extra blanket at night except that blankets don't chase pigs in their sleep .

Most wardens around here are decent. But I don't eat liver from anything.

Wasn’t it a character named Boss Hogg that ate the stuff uncooked in a comedy series of two hillbillies and a blond Dixie who ran around in a souped up Dodge Charger named the General. I like it cooked a bit my self.

You can have it all, raw and cooked. I’ll take Daisy instead.

Leave the liver take and eat the heart.

Eat both, Liver just needs a soaking in water for a while.

Just thought I'd throw this in, the reason we got a new game warden. The previous warden was named
Tom, he always worked in some type of program such as game & fish or forest ranger and in some way
working with youths, mainly boys. Now Tom worked all over, east coast to west coast and several places
in between, we wondered why he moved around so much, he was a home county boy, figured he would
want to stick around.
As it turned out he was staying one step ahead of the authorities. When Tom finally did return to our county
it all caught up to him. He liked to take young boys camping and swimming, problem was some of those
youths didn't go for his idea of fun and spoke up. An investigation led to an indictment.
He never went to trial, instead he shot himself in the head.

Rudyard , we now have genuine European Wild Boar released into the wild here in New Zealand , They are double fierce when it comes to dogs and hunters .

I guess it’s off topic a bit, but, problem solved!

we did have trouble in 2019 with one ECO, gave a bunch of camp members warning tickets for doing something that regs allowed. They pooled money for a lawyer who wrote DEC, in the end the tickets were struck from the record. They don’t see him much anymore. The other ECO’s I’ve encountered have all been decent, even if doing there job.
