It was like pulling teeth to get to go too because none of the guys I knew wanted to take a teenage girl in the woods.

Whoa! You must have lived in a place where the guys are dumb that they wouldn't want to be alone with a teenage girl in the woods. ;)

Me, I'll gladly go to the woods with a teenage girl, of course, if she has a rifle, I get to have a rifle too. ;)

[Frohickey]

Yeah I have yet to try it but the recipes I have read and the stories from guys who have had it make my mouth water. Once I tried squirrel stir fry and that didn't work so well. My mom thought I was nuts.

What kind of squirrels? I have read that tree squirrels are fine to eat, but ground squirrels are only good for crow bait or hawk food. Same thing with cottontail rabbits and jack rabbits.

Have you heard different?

"They could be used as a backdoor registration scheme."(background checks)

Minor correction. THEY ARE being used as a backdoor registration scheme. Just ask the FBI pencilnecks who tried to get Ashcroft to turn the info over from...the database...that ain't supposed to exist.

listen peta puke- never throw your narrow judgement on me. just because the scum you run with have no morals doesn't give your ignorant @ss the right to judge me. if you don't wish to hunt- don't. come to my land and stop me----

[oldvike]

I've just been sitting here in utter amazement at her posts on this thread. I'm speechless.

[Terriergal]

Thanks for the info, ya learn something every day!

[herewego]

we only used tree squirrel taken from deep woods. my buds wife from south georgia did the cooking i never got the recipe. sadly they are no longer with us.

[herewego]

agreed- and dismayed.

[Terriergal]

lol! Right back atcha! Actually I went with a couple younger guys and their parents thought it was weird too.

I did go fishing a lot with a couple of college students my folks trusted that went to our church. I had a great elderly guy that took me for a while until his relatives started making comments - not believing I could be going with him because I actually LIKED those activities. So he had to quit taking me. I was mortified and embarrassed. Nothing was ever the same and he felt terrible about it all too (he was like an uncle to me - a very good mentor).

Then I was desperate because he had said he would take me deer hunting. I had already bought a tag and mom wouldn't let me go alone (had to borrow a gun cuz mom wouldn't buy me one and of course I couldn't.). My band teacher (female) offered to take me and then said no at the last minute and got mad at me for being upset! I just couldn't win. Finally I think my pastor must have said something to mom about how responsible I was with guns (he had walked with me a couple of times in the woods) and she let me go alone. I saw a lot of deer but never got a shot. a couple years later I married my nonhunting (at that time) hubby and hunting was put on hold for a while as kids came. Now I am back into it. My first deer was with a bow in 2001 - and I got two that year.

Part of what drives me to hunt is what drives me to fish... only I can't eat fish (I go into anaphylactic shock). I can handle fish and my hands get a little itchy where skin is broken, but that's all. I have always wanted to be able to live off the land and hunting is a big part of that.

I couldn't find the email on the website, is the email addy on your profile the one?

[Terriergal]

If you get a scanner it usually comes with some fairly serviceable software.

Now I am back into it. My first deer was with a bow in 2001 - and I got two that year. CONGRATS!!

[Terriergal]

Please, if you have a pet peeve or irrational belief, don't try and tell me to raise my child as you would do your own

No no she can try to tell us that. I fully support her right to say it. Just as I support yours and my right to laugh in amazement at her keen ability to miss the logic train.

[Terriergal]

lol no they didn't like me because they knew they'd never get anywhere... I was much to absorbed in the hunting and fishing part.

That and they thought I was ugly. Now that I couldn't argue with.

[Terriergal]

Yeah same here... just gray squirrels are any good eating is what I have heard.

[ctdonath2]

I _was_ going to leave this alone, but since you insulted me elsewhere without cause, dragging me back to it...

Interesting that you rail against those of us who simply take meat eating (something done by 99% of the world's population) seriously and honestly, and proceed to concoct and promote gratuitous murder for sport. It truly takes a sociopathic mind to make such a leap.

I highly recommend you read "On Hunting" by Ortega y Gasset, even if you are so remarkably & rabidly against mankind's oldest activity. Perhaps it will not change your mind, but maybe you will learn some respect for what you plainly do not understand.

you can use the email addy on my FR profile page or the profile page at VetsCoR.

I look forward to seeing the pics ... and I'll expect a care package fulla jerky after hunting season this year ..... :)

Toward FREEDOM

[Terriergal]

Our archery club has an annual ground squirrel (gopher) hunt each spring. We do it as a service to farmers and for our own target practice.

[FreePaul]

when I lived in the country I let my cats roam.....

Do you have any idea how much damage cats do to wildlife? They kill nesting birds and other small animals for fun. They usually play with their victims before they kill them. Most outdoorsmen will kill cats they find roaming in the wild in the interest of protecting wild life.

[Terriergal]

For recipes you can go to the hunting.about.com forums and there should be a section for them. I asked about squirrel recipes on there and got some enthusiastic responses. So next time I get any squirrels I'll know where to look.
