My husband went gator hunting in FL last year. Has the gator shipped home. Has the gator mounted and meat came from the butcher. I tried two different recipes and the meat tasted like swamp 🤮
I love me some gator tail.

It needs to.soak for AT LEAST 24 hours. I use mountain dew or milk/buttermilk. Then deep fry it in zatarains fish fry or blacken it in a cast iron skillet. That's about the only two ways I like it, but the 24 hour soak is essential. Even then, it's not for everyone.

So glad my husband doesn't see this. He's been talking about another for awhile now.
Father’s Day is coming up, I’m sure Amazon will be having a sale on slippers!😉

Hi Diane, very nice to meet you. It's so funny, I've seen your username around and didn't imagine that you were a girl. The same with Amanda, I didn't know how many ladies are on R2R. It's cool.😎
You haven’t heard from Jill, Bev and Shelley.

My son caught some the other day to teach the baby raccoons how to catch and eat them. They have mastered catching the goldfish, of the 30 I bought they’ve caught and ate 20.

That is a really cool experiment tou have going there Kevin. It's great that you're teaching them to hunt and eat natural things.

3 weeks John and the cushy room service is over. They need to fend for themselves. This weekend I’ll be teaching them how to get into trash cans, tear it apart and find food like others do in the wild.

I don't know, I've never seen goldfish in the streams in Ohio.
