Flintlock muzzleloaders will rule again

Trick is to cook them slow, in a crockpot with a little cider vinegar. When the meat is tender enough to shred with a fork, add the cumin, garlic and chili powder and a few onions and simmer it on low to meld the flavors

I remember reading about New Zealand soldiers during WW2 given instructions on how to eat cassowaries, massive Jurassic Park looking birds. They say to put the bird and a stone in the same pot. Bring to a boil and keep it there. When the stone is ready to eat, so is the cassowary. I would imagine cats to be the same, nasty stringy critters. I'd sooner resort to eating rats and mice and risk hantavirus than try to choke down the other white meat.

I have no intention of eating the cats.

But , havin a firearm that will spark ~ yes

And that is why God Made the Person who Invented the Dutch Oven.

I remember reading about an interview with Albert Einstein where he was asked what weapons do you think will be used in the next World War. He said he had no idea, but the conflict following it will most likely be with rocks and sticks .

I heard alot of people saw Roosters were too tough and stringy, I don't know about that but the four we ate were alright and heck I wasn't even starving.

I thought that was general MacArthur that said that . . .

I’m not worried about any of this.
I have fire insurance.

I won a live rooster at a shoot some years back. Boiled him for four days, and the broth was even too tough to drink!

I think somebody needs to start a thread titled "chicken pluckers meet here"

I've never plucked one, the Wife grew up with 2000 Chickens and cannot stand the smell of scalding feathers, so I just skinned them.

Sooner or later, for sure!

P.S. Keep a wrist Rocket and ball bearings in your Rucksach.

Wonder where some people's minds are .
nothing but eating cats and other animals that God did not intend for eating.
Apparently not too interested in sending any bullets down range when the power's out and the delivery trucks aren't rolling.

Actually, most forum members here are smart enough NOT to post WHAT they might do . Big brother is watching. PS, the strutting idiots that are visibly armed to the teeth will be the first ones taken out, by bandits or the authorities…..

An old Daisy slingshot with some marbles is an incredibly underrated piece of kit. A few afternoons of twanging with the thing can get you scary accurate with one and keep the pot filled with squirrels and rabbits to come.

I also recommend getting good at tossing a rabbit stick, A.K.A. any curved stick you find laying around that you fling like a big heavy boomerang. Requires probably even less time to get proficient at and does just the trick against bunnies.
