Your family sounds lit. I’m from the city so hunting was never a thought. Now, I’m trying research if it’s possible to hunt with your bare hands 😅. Meat from the internet? I didn’t know you could do that. Also, remember when I mentioned that I initially thought it was inhumane to eat game? Rabbit was one of the reasons why? I don’t think I could bring myself to eat one 😅😅😅. I don’t know if I could bring myself to eat squirrels or raccoons either. Although, I heard they’re both delicious. Nah I looked up game meat and I think alligator is considered game.

Please do not try to hunt with your bare hands. Or with a bow. Or with anything other than a sufficient calibre gun aimed at the heart/ lungs. Bushcraft is neat, but hunting should take every effort to minimise suffering.

My entire extended family is from Louisiana, and my uncles love to hunt, so I've been around game meat since I was a child. Venison, rabbit, and squirrel were the most common, all of which are delicious. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2010 and never really got into hunting myself, so most of the meat I eat nowadays comes from either the grocery store or the Internet, but I still eat a lot of venison and rabbit because they're relatively easy to find commercially. Squirrel on the other hand is impossible to find; I've been searching for years to no avail. I miss it so much haha.

Anyway, I'd highly recommend those as a place to start. Alligator and turtle are fantastic as well, though I'm not sure if they meet the technical definition of "game."

La. native here and come from a hunting/fishing family, so I can relate to all of it :-)

Deer roasts slow-smothered in a cast iron pot (much like you’d do a beef roast) are the best. If done right, you’d never know it was wild game.

I’ve had fried alligator tail before. Has a texture much like chicken (the old saying is true, ha) but is best wrapped tightly and refrigerated a while.

Isshun:
I'm not a hunter but yes. Venison, elk, rabbit, rattlesnake sausage, boar, a camel burger, turtle jerky, and alligator. I have a pretty open palate provided something is prepared in a safe and suitable way.

Munchies:
What does rattlesnake sausage taste like?

Isshun:
It's been almost ten years since I've had it. It's sort of like a more rubbery chicken with subtle hints of fish flavor.
