The vast majority of Americans approve of hunting according to Responsive Management, an internationally recognized survey research firm in natural resource and outdoor recreation issues. A recent survey in conjunction with the National Shooting Sports Foundation revealed the current approval rating of hunting by Americans 18 years of age and older is the highest it’s been since Responsive Management began monitoring approval rates in 1995. During the past 25 years, overall approval of hunting has steadily grown from 73 to 80%. During the same time frame, overall disapproval of hunting has declined even more rapidly from 22 to only 13%.

It was farm raised goat I think. I had it in a restaurant in Ecuador. You can’t get it just any old place so it seemed exotic to me at the time.
It tends toward being tough, but the flavor was as good as any meat I’ve had. No gravy or anything on it except salt and pepper. Would eat it again anytime.
There was a small shop that sold exotic meats in a town near here for a few years. Snake, yak, various African animals, antelope, etc, all probably farm raised. I always told my girlfriend we should go in there, but it closed about a year ago and now it’s too late.
Let me know when we can hunt democrats most vile creatures on earth
So... Is it enjoyable for you when that 8 lb. channel cat decides to hit your bluegill (light) rig? ;-)
One thing is for sure: Most any angler who has used stinky / messy bait of some sort very often has likely acquired the “skills” needed to not touch one’s face in potential virus contamination situations...
That's an easy one to remember after your first mistake.
The meat in the stores comes from innocent animals. Wild games is healthy meat. Low in fat and no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Welcome to west Texas, goat is on the grill quite often. Cabrito!
So far this year I’ve cooked beef of course, but I have had Feral Hog, Whitetail deer, Mule deer, Axis deer, Elk Aoudad (Careful how you fix this one), Javalina, Turkey, Quail and dove. Eat allot of fish also that comes from the ponds on the ranch, Channel Cat’s, Bass and Bluegill.
I’ve been eating this way for damn near 70 years starting in Eastern OR. Pop always had the lockers full of wild game. Eat allot of local plant life also, Agave’s, Prickly Pear, Mesquite beans, shell’s. If you know what to look for there’s always something to eat in west TX.
An old Apache quote was “With Prickly Pear you can survive, Prickly Pear and Mesquite, you can get fat. Not a diet I would personally care to live on, but sometimes they didn’t have a choice.
They’re all innocent, except for Coyotes, they’re all guilty
Native American were constantly on the move to keep from starving, they could wipe out the local wildlife rather quickly. Interestingly enough they would wipe out it’s energy sources also, wood was highly prized for cooking. Just north of here in the Panhandle wood was scarce so the used Buffalo Chip’s. When we realize they didn’t get horses until about 5 to 600 years ago you start realize just how much of a survivor the Human Race is.
Can’t believe I left that out. Feral hog’s and Coyotes are on the shoot on sight list.
