....this is a good thread!
I remember eating a few groundhogs when I was a kid if the farm dog didn't kill and eat them first. Squirrels too--but not
many cause my two brothers could eat a dozen each and we never got that many at once. Skinning them was a
bother for so little meat. As for Raccoons...considering they are scavengers...I don't think I could...maybe if I
was hungry enough...?
A little while ago, in the Pennsylvania Game News magazine, there was a nice write up about cooking/eating
groundhog---I've since challenged my menfolk to bring some home to cook for supper. No luck yet though. LOL
I don't know if they just haven't seen any or they're concerned about me cooking them!
Hubby currently has a nice sized buck hanging in the garage. Son #3 is in the woods looking for another. Venison is
generally on the menu here. Sometimes we contact a local farmer and get a few chickens, 1/2 a pig and 1/2 a cow but not always.
