Interesting, Red Leg. I've spent most of my life avoiding eating rats of any description. If I'd known about river rats, or nutria, early on, I'd have added them to the list of gourmet delights to be avoided. As it is, they were only added after I got married and found out that my mother-in-law's fur coat was nutria, and looked it up. For that reason, if for no other, I will keep them on the list!

But just in case I find myself in a survival situation in South America, exactly what does rat taste like?;)
 
First I have to say that we haven't had groundhogs in eastern Ontario (outside the cities) for years too many coyotes. Secondly after they get hit with any decent varmint rifle there isn't much left except buzzard meat

Possum and nutria are about the only two things I can think of that my grandfather wouldn't eat. At least there in East Texas.

And being a rice farmer he shot and trapped every nutria he could. Gave all the meat away though to the local Cajuns. They loved it. :)

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
