Just in from putting up the chicken wire and sweating like a pig. Whew, it’s in the 80s but the humidity got me. Didn’t have enough to go completely around but it might frustrate them enough. If they get caught in there, they’ll become buzzard feed. Might need to go back and block it off but no more today. Or set out the live trap. Sorry, you mess with my tomatoes and you’re fast on your way to the buzzards.
Years ago, I field-dressed and ate dillo. Much like squirrel. Of course, now I’ll get flamed with all sort of warnings about diseases.
I feel the same way about our 'maters. I knew about tularemia from rabbits and leprosy from 'dillos, but what besides rabies can you get from squirrels? I don't think they have hanta around here (they've had that in the Four Corners area back west--I think on the res).
“I field-dressed and ate dillo. Much like squirrel.”
No flames from me. It is my understanding that if the meat is handled and cooked properly, it should be safe. I guess any wild game could have contaminations, but how would you know?
But what do I know?...I’ve never done that!
