John, I think the community center here in New Albany has checkers tournaments on tuesday afternoons Just kidding.
Steve Redden drove up from Fla. thursday to shoot with us at Bass Pro. He has already seen a bunch of pigs along the highway. He met someone in the T.B.O.F. that has the low down on public land porkers. He's gonna find out more and let us know Hey, here's an idea. If you don't mind being in the Jet Set, get ahold of Steve and hangout
I'll try and get some info about the Sambar hunts on St. Vincent Island. You have to get drawn but it looks like fun.
Put in for the Ky. elk drawing. I've got a nice elk roast in my fridge that one of the Dr.s gave me this week. He was drawn and got a cow on the late hunt.
I saw someone had guided Sitka hunts in Maryland for $300. something.
Skunk season starts at my camp as soon as all this rain get' out of here
Well, no. I once entertained the idea of eating 'possum, till my mother and grandparents talked me out of it. Their diet is..., well, i'd have to be mighty hungry.
Dennis, would you believe that my farm is the last known sanctuary for the last survivor of the Bigfoot family. Legend has it that this last Bigfoot roamed the hills where my farm is located. Locals say it was all an invention of one infamous drug dealer whose family owned the land across the lane from mine. This dubious character "invented" the whole thing to keep people away from his "business". I know for a fact that he and his cousins swear to this day that they last saw Bigfoot next to an ancient oak tree that still stands on my ridge. The best mast producer in the area.
Now, with all that said, the reason you do not find recipes for Bigfoot in KY recipe books is because we done ate them all! No need to carry their recipes no more.
Old 'possums are good eating too... if you can get passed the thought of what their diet is. Easy eating too. Them mountain boys love them. You see... them boys don't have no teeth and the little critters are so greasy they go down real easy, no need to chew much at all. "Like eating okra" they say; "a straight shot". I hear the trick though is to add sweet potatoes to the stew...
Stay healthy.
God bless,
José
