hey mare , how you guys been diong ? bitter cold up there ? same here .
yea most people don't know a deer can make any sounds other than a grunt or a bleat , but when thoes coyotes start rippin' one up they scream ! every time i hear one going down it makes me wanna get the 12 gauge out and even things up a bit . but you just gotta remember that thats the way nature goes , some gotta eat , some gotta be eaten . of course i like being on the eating end of the deal .
we got the fishers here too but as far as i know we can only get one a year on a fur harvesters license ( trapping lisence ) . there kind of hard to find . i worked with this one guy a few years ago who used to live in the u.p. he said if i ever saw a quill pig (porcupine as we call them ) to get one for him . his mom used to cook them up when the food money wasn't too good . well we got him a couple big ones and he was happier than cat in a bird cage . the next day he brought in this crock pot full of this stew , everyone gobbeled it up at lunch , you guessed it , the porcupines !
well before i could get his recipe on how he cooked them he got fired and moved away , but i got to tell you , it was one of the best wild game dinners i ever ate . seems that all the good old family resipes went out the door when the grocery stores came in . i been real luckey though , i talk to just about everyone i run into out in woods and have gotten some cooking directions on all kinds of stuff , like muskrats , beaver , coon , and even possom , but i don't think i could stomack no possom !
i bet you can't wait for the summer to come , i can just picture you three crusin' on the hog ! it won't be long now before old mr. sunshine starts warming things up ! tell cliff and jack i said "hey !" your pal lonehunter
