So how many different wild meats have you killed, cooked and eaten?

[Eutycus]

Yes some armadillos do carry leprosy. I guess I was lucky and did not contact it. But for that reason I am foregoing that "particular delicacy". It is no longer on the list so to speak.

I’ve eaten Bullhead before and you’d think I would have eaten Gar too with were I live, but I don’t remember if I did or not. Seems like I had Gar balls one time, they shred the meat, add spices and corn meal, sort of like a meaty hush puppy.

That sounds really good!

Would not kill a sand hill crane. Just me. Where I live, they are easily tamed. Eat from your hand and come when called.

They are also federally protected in Florida and illegal to shoot... here in Wyoming we have the greater sandhill crane and they are more of a nuisance to farmers and eat from their crops. No pets here just delicious dinner fare!

Is that the same as opposum on the half shell?

Deer, Squirrel, Rabbit, Muskrat, Turkey, Beaver, Rainbow Trout,Perch, Bullhead, Crappie,Sucker, Walley. Various panfish. Racoon, Dove, Pigeon. I would very much like to try Porcupine,I hear its fantastic.

Well in one of Indiana's neighboring states they had to outlaw the eating of possum. Too many people were hit by cars.

Some things are best left uneaten, Buzzards , hawks, and skunks come to mind.There are more! The story of Secretary Breckinridge escaping across Florida after the Civil War. His servant killed a seabird (Heron or Egret) and cooked it. They got sick to the stomach and threw up from it. I myself am just getting over a stomach virus and some foods (or the thought of them) still turn my stomach.

Dogs have souls so not a food choice. Raccon is as close to dog I've eaten. Not to bad but can be major disease carrying animal.

Soul food?

 

[Sutallee]

Some of this stuff could knock a buzzard off a gut pile.

 

[Dark Angel]

Have killed and eaten the usual, I suppose, squirrel, rabbit, prairie chicken., deer, turkey, even opossum once. Do fish count? Strangest, weirdest(?) was while in-country, Viet-Nam, though I didn't kill it, was monkey.

As a African Professional Hunter and just love "bush food" that left me with almost everything Africa has to offer. Except Hyena. I wont do that hahaha.
My most popular dish and sought after by my clients is elephant tail.

No one has mentioned Bald Eagle yet. "It is delicious" (as someone will always opine).

[Lone Carabiner]

likely the most tasty wild but not indigenous to this area was a young wild boar/feral pig I killed back in '79 (but not with a bp gun so can't brag on it here) that beside mast had been feeding in an old homestead apple and peach orchard. companions and I roasted in a split steel drum over hardwood fire/coals. now that was tasty, along with sweet potatoes, rice, a large jar of pickled okra another smaller of hot ramps plus glorious simmered lentils cooked with onion and parsnip.
quite a farting contest we had after the feast.

Absolutely ! Tastes like a cross between CA condor and spotted owl. More white meat than a golden eagle for those so inclined. Delicate hints of prairie falcon and roadrunner can be tasted as well. SW
