The Joy of Cooking

"Gray squirrels are preferred to red squirrels, which are quite gamy in flavor," reads America’s quintessential cookbook. Beneath this passage is a well-drawn illustration showing how to peel, oops…rather, skin, a squirrel. "Stuff and roast squirrels as for pigeons, barding them, as for Braised Chicken or use them in Brunswick Stew."

but your statement above is EFFED up. sure, some people..yup, they probably have NO regard for any living creature's life.

but to toss up a lame blanket statements to lump all hunters together as some sort of thoughtless killer is BS. complete and utter BS uttered by someone that is unclear on the concept of who and what we are. i think Freud said it. people are uncomfortable with killing animals because that makes them realize we are simply animals on the planet..animals that eat other animals. i hunt. i love the challenge. i'm not a great hunter, not even a good hunter. but i am getting better. my physical abilities are improving as well.

when i take an animal, it is serious business. it may be the only time i whisper a prayer when i let that arrow go. when the animal is down..i will pray..a prayer of thanks. i wont waste the meat. i will carry that stuff out on my back. every get blood out of the inside of a backpack? i will eat it, share it with friends and family..and honor that beast with the best gravy i can manage. the meat is low fat, nutritious..very low cholesterol..hormone and drug free. and you know what? that animal was living it life as it knows best..free. up until the end, i imagine that animal was happy..maybe not the time it was escaping wild predators..but it was living life.

polar opposite to the cows and pigs penned up across the country.. you think that is happiness for the animals? people buy body parts off of these penned up animals, hiring "hitmen" to kill them, break them down, and put them in tiny Styrofoam packages further insulating the consumer from the fact that they just participated in the HUGE machine that produces meat for this planet.

i think i have huge regard to animal life. i accept the responsibility to do some of the wet work to put food on my table. i have fun hunting..yes..i dont relish the killing. i just choose to step in and do some of the hard work..make the hard decisions, accept the responsibility to take a life.

buck-t. i get your ideas and beliefs..i think you should get ours.

Thank you Vash for the thought out response. I may not articulate it very well but I do understand hunting/hunters. At one time I hunted. Hunters like you are what hunting is about and it is admirable. I even understand the fellow on Todd's trophy thread that shot the buffalo because he will utilize the meat and probably even the hide. Now I wouldn't call it hunting, (isn't shooting buffalo kinda like shooting a cow?). But it was nothing more than killing any other meat animal.
The folks I disagree with are the ones that as Superman says uses animals for target practice. Is shooting prairie dogs at 500 yards hunting or just killing? And even what GH states about trying to run over animals on the road. There actually was a study where stuffed animals were put on the road to see how many people would try to hit it. The amount of people that did try was astonishing. Again just a disregard for life.
I don't envy people that kill animals for the killing but I do for those that actually hunt them.

yeah duckyterrier i am sure if YOU were a rancher YOU would be the "kinder/gentleer" rancher and make sure all the lil RODENTENS have lil "blinkies"(blankets) every night and make sure their lil "sippy cups" were full before nighty night time.

but in the mean time YER entire herd of horseys/moo cows are stepping in the praire dawg holes breaking their ankles. at the end of the season i am sure YOU would be a very profitable rancher. NOT!

i cant tell you how happy ranchers are here when we go out to the praire dawg farms BLASTING THEM TO SMITHEREENS! i mean BLOOD GUTS GORE IN OUR TEETH!

its AWESOME VAPORIZING THEM FROM 500-1000 YARDS(yeah we can shoot long range real damn good) with .308's and .338's. one year we actually had a rancher buy us a case of beer for our time and troubles and ammo expended.

and to show YOU how much we LOVE KILLING............my wifey has had severe problems with RODENTENS recently, she set out a HAV NO HEART TRAP last night! and right now in it iz a BIG AZZD RAT WITH BEADY LIL EYES AT 5AM here. as soon as its light enuff, i am GOING TO PERFORM A PELICAN EXCLUSIVE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i am going to take a pic of the lil bastid in the HAV NO HEART CAGE ALIVE!

and then...................I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW US RURALES TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY RWS .177 PISTOLE!

because their aint NO WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE POSTERS HERE.............ONLY "WANTED DEAD" posters.

until YOU live in a rural area, you havent a clue how destructive rodents are. and here WE NO TAKE NO PRISONERS! SHOT ON SIGHT!

yep this will be a PELICAN EXCLUSIVE! "the MURRDURR OF A NASTY AZZ PLAGUE/HANTAVIRUS CARRYING RAT".

wow maybe PETA will do a ballistics test on my pellet, maybe i should get a suppressor for it? or maybe ditch the weapon down a nearby mineshaft after wiping my prints off, then wash my hands.......oh no i will wear thick gloves so i dont have any GSR(gunshot residue) on my hands. maybe they will do "lil rat chalk outlines" of his body. maybe theres even "LIL RAT CORONERS" on call?

and then the POOR LIL RAT FUNERAL with lil mommy ratz a wailing, and the lil ratz funeral procession with a rat hearse and flowers on his $5000 coffin.

OMG i forgot the "LIL RAT MIAMI CSI AUTOPSY" thats where im a gonna be SCREWED! HORATIO WILL CATCH ME IN THE END!

yep lets make this a RAT KIDNAPPING/MURRDURR! might as well go down for the count. if yer gonna DO IT............MAY AS WELL DO IT BIG AND GO DOWN BIG! if ya DO A RAT YER GONNA DO TIME! i am soooo confused now. should i or shouldnt i? its either ME or da RAT? no maybe i should KILL da RAT and THEN SHOOT MYSELF? yeah thats it? no i am still so confused, i dont know what to do anymore, everyone hates me on pelican.

so with MY RAT MANIFESTO out of the wayyyyyyy...........ducky terrier..........either YOU send me 10 BILL-YON DOLLARS USD...........OR THE RAT GETS IT IN THE HEAD THIS AM! lets say a 7am az time deadline.

what ya think about DAT? I SWEAR I'LL DO IT!

oh yeah part DU of the RATZ MANIFESTO .

i want $10 BILL-YON U.S.D. in PLAIN UNMARKED PENNIES! no other dee-nominations accepted or the RAT GETS IT!

time keeps ticking,ticking,ticking away!(don henley rat theme song).

should i BLINDFOLD HIM AND GIVE HIM A CIGARETTE? oh wait we gots to gets da RANSOM FIRST! and den we will give it to him in da kissa! just like "big louie" does it.

YOU duckyterier THOUGHT WE WERE KIDDING DIDNT CHA?

well on my way down to get a pack of smokes for dis here rat, along with a "LIL RAT" butt plug cuz hes sheeting everywhere(YUCK) and gas for my getaway vehicle i had some thoughts:

1) if NO RANSOM we will send you HIS EAR! aka the j.paul getty rat syndrome

2) we have choices here if NO RANSOM. its ALL UP TO YOU!

a) shot at DAWN

b) drowning(have pool)

c) gas(carbon monoxide)

d) rat poison

e) the BUTT WHIRLIES down a toilet

f) starvation

its YOUR CALL DUCKYTERRIER its ALL ON YOU AND YOUR SOUL!

we will DO HIM! yes i have accomplices and we have it all figured out. we will DO THE RAT, ditch the body, and then drive to GOGARS house and HIDE OUT! nobody will ever figure it all out. its diabolical i tell ya. we will use the ratz credit cards all the way to denver. the cops will never ever figure our route or destination.

so anytime this early am, (i will extend the deadline) you should be receiving via FED EX the ratz EAR!

you will know then just who YOU are MESSING WITH!

so start gathering those unmarked uncirculated pennies NOW! OR DA RAT GETS IT IN DA KISSER!

To think we get this for free. Odd-One, you need your own cable channel

well the deadline has come and gone............its all OVER NOW! no ransom was paid by duckyterrier the champion and friend of ratz rights.

ted and i decided to walk outside the cabin now that we checked to see if the coast was clear. NO PETA people around.

mr rat took it like a man.............2 shots to the head. with polished chrome plated CURARE TIPPED .177 pellets at an astounding 700FPS. never felt a thang. as we were singing "ITS ALL OVER NOW!"

launched him into the dumpster, so as NOT TO HURT MY LOKAL CARRION from lead poisoning. see i am a ethical caring college educated(cum laude) HUNTER!

no pictures as i am sure his family would not want them published.

and the TRAP IS ALREADY SET FOR ANOTHER RAT IN THE NEVER ENDING BATTLE AGAINST RODENTEN!

you will think real hard about NOT PAYING THE NEXT RANSOM DUCKYTERRIER! his BLOOD is ON YER HANDS NOW!
