Whatever

I killed a mouse...didn't fry it up tho.

 

No Thai leftovers for lunch, no peanut m&ms allowed in the building, etc...

 

Did you at least cut her tires?

 

Younger I would go visit my dad up north of monroe , pentecostal big up there anyways they would have church a lot I mean a lot , there was an old man that would be there before everything got started he would brag about what road kill he got that morning opposum, raccoons, deer , hog , beaver he said it didn’t matter as long as it was fresh

 

No Snek either? Chicken of the Cave?

 

I wish I had a food limit allergy.

 

I was a kid on the farm and innocently asked why we didn't eat the groundhogs my dad shot.
My Mom said she wasn't gonna cook groundhog.
My Dad laughed and said Grandma would.
And she did.

As I remember it, it's similar to rabbit but more flavorful in a not so good way.
Thankfully, Grandma made it in a pot pie, so it was tolerable.

I may also have had raccoon, but I'm not sure.
We always had a big patch of sweet corn and my dad laid out traps and often caught them.

Story time.

One time I accompanied my Dad to pick some sweet corn and check the traps for a coon.
Oh, we found one alright, a big one.
He'd destroyed a bunch of corn before he was trapped.
There he was, hissing at us in the midst of the destruction.
That made my Dad really mad, and instead of just popping him with the .22, he wound up and kicked him.
Big heavy work boot, but NOT steel toe.

That coon took a big bite right through the boot and down to the bone on Dad's big toe.
He wouldn't let go and my Dad was yelling and trying to shake him off.
Finally he let go and was shot.
The end.
But boy, I remember it vividly.

 

She was not well liked.

I love your story times!

RE: the current poll, please define "beaver".

 

Noice

Changed my response.

 

Thank you.

Live as long as I have, and you should have a few stories.

 

You're right, it is past beer:30.

 

Tell us the trek west story again but leave out the Donner Pass part, I just had brunch.
