I know most everyone on here plans to supplement their food stores by hunting, but let's face facts- After a while the population of deer, moose, squirrels and the other standard game animals are going to thin out or there will be times you just don't see them in the feild. Bringing meat home may mean songbirds, chipmunks, snakes, lizards or beavers. Does anyone know any particular animals to stay away from or any conditions under which you DON'T want to eat them so as not to chance getting sick? (I know there is a liver disease in rabbits in Il, for example- you don't want to eat them until after it frosts) Alternately is there any UNUSUAL animals that any of you have actually eaten and found to be good? I had a chance to try some native food up here recently. I can honestly now say Muktuk (Whale blubber) is good, dried walrus I could definitely go the rest of my life without eating. I'm really interested in hearing everyone elses experiences, so tell the tales of the roast gecko or throw up the sparrow stew recipe!
