I used to have a coworker who was an avid hunter, trapper, and fisherman. I never ate what he brought in for "pot luck" days. Crock pot squirrels with cream of anything soup, passed off as Turkey ala king. People would eat it up enthusiastically.

Black Sucker-fish run up the streams every April in Wisconsin. He would net out enough to fill five burlap feed sacks. About 700 pounds. His wife pickled it and labeled the jars as "pickled herrring".

With proper planning one never needs a grocery store if thats how you like to live. He was very good at it.

My Dad was from the city, but an avid hunter. Squirrel and rabbits were his favorite.

I knew how to cook them by the time I was 10 years old. Just dredge in seasoned flour, brown in fat in the pressure cooker, then add some liquid and pressure cook for a few minutes. Really tasty!

My Dad even made hassenpfeffer a few times with the rabbit.
