The Tennessee Thread

Yeah I've actually had bear meat and it was NASTY! It had like an almost "sour" taste to it. I was not a fan of it at all. But the roast was the actual part of the elk I've tried and it was awesome. My papaw made it but didn't tell anybody what it was but me because he knew they wouldn't eat it and they all loved it and then he told them and they felt bad for eating it. LOL. Also have you ever actually killed an elk before or did you eat one someone else had killed?

 

Frog giggin' is when you take this sorta pronged object, almost like a mini-pitchfork and I mean they are SHARP too, and you go at night and shine a light on them and sneak up and gouge it through them. That's what frog giggin' is. It takes quite a bit of skill actually. There really are a lot of hunters up in your neck of the woods actually. In PA people hunt a lot for sure. I've seen people literally hunting right off the interstate up there on my way to games before.

 

So you wouldn't want to eat just plain turkey? You like it better as an ingredient? I've also seen someone use coke to dissolve battery corrosion! I was like "wait! I DRINK that and it's THAT strong!" LOL! I'm no mechanic and didn't know you could do that but when you think of something being that strong and then you drink it it's sorta crazy.

 

love frog legs

gigged many along with flounder giggin ran up and down the waterways of Carolina giggin floiunder

it's fun and rewarding at the same time a challenge

I get 5lb boxes of frog legs at UGO (united grocery outlet) great store 20 bucks
I just grill them like chicken legs most time different flavors
good eats

 

Yeah I found Bear meat to be extremely greasy. And how dare you hick jack my thread that's it I'm done with you both I'm going to go in the corner in cry now. Lmao

 

stupid frogs way to rib it

just doesn't seem to be as many as back in the day to gig or catch

I remember going "snake hunting" and just coming back with a lot of snakes did it just for the thrill of finding them first and catching them

 

GRIN AND BEAR IT STEEL!!!

 

AHH SHOOT

Steel I missed that "HICKJACK"


that was good you got me

 

btw
I'm fixin snack on some trotters

 

HICKJACK!!! AWESOME!!!! THAT'S SO FUNNY DUDE!!! LOL!!! You are free to say ANYthing you want in mine and darcrav's special thread! The 1st Amendment lives here my friend! LOL! Just keep this place a secret! We wouldn't want just anyone coming in here and telling us this isn't "watercooler related" since this is in the watercooler. LOL. I mean we don't have any threads about watercoolers but I have tons of strong opinions about them so it is probably better that way! LOL! But mine and darcrav's special thread has gotten over 80 hits and I'd say that's pretty good for a couple of old misfit toys.

 

Do they have trotters in TN? I don't think I've ever seen one. I'm having a hard time eating anyway since I just had my special operation the other day. The nausea is ridiculous.

 

Oh man squirrel is AWESOME! I used to kill them all the time and my great mamaw would make them for me. A lot of people like to eat their brains and make gravy out of them too. There's a guy where I pastor who just went on a really big squirrel hunt and I might have to eat some of his actually. He kills them with a .22 but I would always use a shotgun. Also when you said small game and then said buffalo I was like "DANG! WHAT DO YOU HUNT? ELEPHANTS!" LOL! Also I didn't know there was elk in PA. Or are you just saying you put in for drawed hunts out west?

 

Yeah I've never eat their brains before either. It just seems nasty to me. I didn't know that about elk in PA though. I always thought that was one of the weird parts on The Deer Hunter was that they lived in PA but were hunting what looked like elk. I thought people mostly killed whitetail up there. You're also right about being better for the meat when you shoot them in the head. That takes a lot of skill to do that too. One of my buddies used to dog on me all the time for shooting squirrels with a shotgun but I would usually shoot them when they were moving so that should give me SOME points. LOL.

 

Lmao I didn't think anyone would catch the hick jack lmao

 

not as good as the Tennessee walking horse

I slow cook my pigs feet with soy,garlic,ginger,sriracha,and lemon grass
nice on a cold day like today
dang tasty I must say of course that's the eastern Carolina part of me
there's more pigs than people in the state

 

Hartford I think

 

That's funny because on the episode of the Cosby Show where Sandra has the twins Elvin is so nervous in the waiting room that he can't remember what insurance they have and he says "it's the one with a deer or a moose??? what's more dependable? A deer or a moose?!" LOL! Yeah you're right that you'd never tame a whitetail. Unless you have a good 30-30. That has worked for me. LOL.

 

I've never had pigs feet. That just seems SO nasty to me but they say the only part of a pig you can't eat is the squeal. You getting snow down there? We are up here. I'm really surprised by it because it was supposed to miss us. Now everyone is calling off school and leaving work. There is less than an inch.
