It wasn’t that dear “buddy” that your dads friend befriended, was it?
Rabbit and deer are hardly “wild game” to some of the new england rednecks I know. I get scared when I eat over, they kill & grill some funky critters. Squirrel one night. No thanks!
Well, I was cooking it at my friends’ house. They are transplants from Florida so it’s all very exotic to them.
No, it wasn’t the deer named “Buddy”! He is still safe.
As far as eating funky critters, I had some raccoon not too long ago. Not exactly my favorite, but once a year’s okay.
