With food prices skyrocketing, and me retiring and having a lot more time, a vegetable garden in the summer is becoming a thing — also foraging for mushrooms and other delicacies.
For the winter .... I’m developing a bushmeat paradigm. I don’t care what is legal or not — I won’t get caught, but safety is important, and no harm to troubled species — I don’t want to be the guy who eats the last ivory billed woodpecker.
On the list here in SWPa. are deer, canada goose, coyote, black bear, snapping turtles, raccoons, woodchuck, possum, skunk, squirrel, rabbit, house sparrows, starlings, pigeons, turkey...
What am I missing? What is your favorite knarly free meat?

Spotted owls are much more abundant, and their eggs make excellent omelets.
I did cook up a woodchuck once except we call them rock chucks here in the west....don’t know how it tasted because I wouldn’t eat it.....others seem to enjoy though...
