What do you do with your kills?

[Eugene Slagle]

I don't shoot it unless I intend to eat it with the exception of Coyote which is nothing more than a nusance that needs controlling.

[YORNOC]

Why does everybody hate coyotes so much? They are just trying to get by like every other animal....every right to be on this planet as us.

I've shot 5!  :D   I hate it that they are smarter than me.

[SteveB]

Everything I shoot gets eaten by someone or something.

[Steve H.]

I live in mtn goat country and have eatne a bunch of them.  They always taste good but are routinely a bit tuff so burger is the norm.

Lion is about as god as meat gets, I've eaten a bunch of them too.  I would kill a lion for the meat only.

Bears are hit and miss.  If they have been eating fish, then they do NOT have meat, only "flesh".  Meat is edible and a bear eating fish is not!  The last blackie I shot was not eating fish and was excellent.

[Bud B.]

Any deer I shoot is given away to folks who can use it. I usually keep a ham and some backstrap for jerkey. The wife and kids (grown kids) won't eat it any other way.

[Thumper Dunker]

I wiil eat just about any thing but not coyote ,ground squirrels or crow.

[Airborne]

I don't hunt waterfoul because I won't eat them--my jerk of a brother in law kills the heck out of ducks and geese and I am almost certain he throws them in the dumpster

Wont eat no possum, but cook up several coons every year. I like the big fat ones, boiled with lots of pepper, potatoes and carrots. Never ate a coyote, and never plan to.

[Chris Shelton]

I think its funny when people judge the way an animal will taste by what it eats . . .

Here in MD our prized possession is the blue crab! For those of you that don't know they are the little guys attached to the dead body when it gets pulled up outta the water in all the cop shows!

I have eaten both possums and coons, but only the legs! You can fry them suckers up like drumbsticks.

I'm a trapper and I find it hard to not try and eat somethin ya find dead in a trap.

That said, I haven't tried to trap foxes or yotes in depth, but this year I will. And I just can't get myself talked into eating a canine!!

I'll try anything once, its all about the way its fixed!

[thunder1]

We eat a lot of it. I do take a deer or two for family and friends.

[Ken Taylor]

When it comes to bowhunting, I can't remember killing something that I didn't eat... except since about my early teens when I used to shoot pretty well any wild thing that moved including mice, crows, snakes and bugs.

[Looper]

Chris, what an animal eats has a definite effect on what the meat tastes like.  Black bear is a prime example.  In Alaska, spring bears that are feeding on fresh vegetation are superb eating.  Those that are taken in the fall, after gorging on salmon, have a very distinct fishy taste.  It's not very pleasant.  In fact, in Alaska, you are required by law to salvage all of the meat of a spring bear.  You don't for a fall bear.

The same goes for ducks and geese.  Ducks that have been feeding on grains are much better tasting than those that have been feeding in salty marshlands.

i'd eat anything except for the coyote.  definitely keep the fur though and find a use for it somehow.

[hova]

i have yet to eat anything but deer that my old man used to hang from my swingset...

once i get a trad bow made , the wife wants to try rabbit hunting.

im looking forward to rabbit , squirrel , frog ,pheasant , turkey , deer , and possibly fish if i can find some walleye close to the surface...

i have downed a couple yotes for an old friend , and since they were out in the middle of the day , she wanted to burn the carcass cause she thought they were rabid. never really did much hunting in my life , spent a few weekends looking for deer in the woods during season though...

Feed the Buzzards!! Only kidden! Chow them, everything but Yotes. They feed the buzzards!

[Hoyt]

I don't kill anything I don't eat and don't hunt anything that I don't eat and can eat me.
