Looking for a courteous, conscientious individual with follow-through to help with land stewardship just ten minutes from town. Close road access could be a great opportunity to mentor a youngster. Please DM if you're in the Marquette area and I'll put you in touch.
Thanks for your replies. It was a boar, so maybe there's something to do with that.
none of the nicknames I've heard would be appropriate. I'll have to start calling this one Mr. Clean.
Has anybody experienced this before? I killed my first Javelina last weekend and it's mostly delicious, but occasionally I get a hint of a slight ammonia smell and taste.
I've eaten the tenderloins (no ammonia), backstrap (ditto), shoulder (ammonia) and head cheese (ammonia).
I can't figure it...
I thumped one with the bumper of my car one morning going to work and cooked it up that night following Hank's Sardinian Hare Stew recipe. I'd do it again but have never been in a position to shoot another and care for it properly.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it never occurred to me there would be a liability issue that would cause a state to prohibit salvage. If it's not there when I pass but is there a couple hours later when I return, I'll pick it up. I have eaten some good squirrels and birds that way, but no...

This is only my opinion, but that's what you're asking for... Be genuine, be yourself. Be interested in him for more than just the motive of hunting his land. I think the cheese/wine basket is a bit over the top at this point. Is he a cheese and wine kind of guy? Sounds like he lives alone. Most...
I don't see why you wouldn't clean the skull and pack and ship it yourself. Scrape it down well, hit the car wash and blast it off and dry it overnight. Hit the goodwill and get an old towel, wrap it around the skull to soak up anything that might drip off, bag the skull, tape it well around the...
Thanks for that link, huronmtns. cool tooth - pollution correlation study highlighted there.
