Same here. Drawn but work, etc have prevented me from heading out. I finally have a chance next Fri/Sat but with no chance to scout prior I'm not holding my breath.

If you start when your 12 and live longer than other hunter your age, you just may have a chance.

No fat so you must roast them 1/3 less time than a store bought. The legs are muscle and tendons so I put them on the BBQ and the dog chewed on them for days.

Rather bland tasting but when you take it out of the fridge and make a sandwhich you cannot tell the diff between wild and store bought. If you have one deep fried is really good
