Hunting

partyguy, no aligator does not taste like chicken, as most tastes (unless refrencing another taste) is unexplainable... it is VERY good, i love it, and i'm one of those people that get very agitated at anyone talking about killing reptiles, i love reptiles, like love love, more than almost anyone else could.... but i HAVE eaten aligator... it's very good.. lol it's a very flavorful meat, juicy as hell, and is just orgasmic... in taste and texture... i HIGHLY reccomend trying it, if ever given the chance.... even half way, going out of your way just to try it... you will not be dissapointed.

but most of the money you invest in hunting, isn't something that's a one time use... as opposed to say, buying a t-bone steak or some shit, spend 10-20 bucks on one steak, it adds up pretty damn quickly...

well.... im not the kind of guy who would pass up trying some new food... theres nuthing that i wont eat if you put it on my plate, i willl eat it or atleast try a bite... but some day, i guess i will go buy a out of state licence or get a guide and go out aligator hunting and try it out... maybe i will find some one with some already befor i go hunt some casue that would suck to have to eat a full sized animal if you didnt like the taste if it...

lol dude, i ate my at a resturant.... lol... even if i was into hunting (i'm not against it, exactly) i coudln't kill a reptile, it'd have to be a mamal...

edit: if you like meat, any meat at all, i can garuntee you'd like aligator.... it is to meat, as ferari is to cars... it is THE meat...

Boat meat is really good but depends on the weight on the boar itself. Since they will eat almost anything...they are only good to eat if they are inbetween say 250-400 MAX...anything over 400 is just too rough and anything under 250 is not along of good meat. Argh but this can apply to alot of things...such as sharks where they are only good to eat when they are smaller cause they eat so much junk... Also gators...again theres a weight range where they will harvest them where they taste the best and are not so rough.

well lol if you're ever in the houston texas area, i can take you to the resturant where i had mine....

I've had gator a few times. I wasn't that impressed. Best way I've had it so far was but into chunks and fried with a light batter. I think I prefer lamb, duck, deer, and beef over gator. It just seems like there's too much muscle and connective tissue in beasts like that to get any tasty cuts.

On a side note, anyone ever had true Kobe beef? Not wagyu, but actual Jappanese Kobe beef. I'm thinking of ordering some for my birthday and chowing down on one. Its gonna cost a freakin ton, but it just just be the best tasting peice of meat I'll ever have. It may just be worth it. Just look at that marbeling

I didn't care much for hunting when I tried it. I'm not against it at all. I am against killing animals for fur, or to place their head on the wall as a trophy. That's downright sick, but for survival and food, I'm all for it. I'm more for hunting your own food, than buying from mass slaughterhouses. Hunting for food and warmth to I suppose, has been around since the first caveman hit a wooly mammoth on the head.

I did go once, but the people I went with, were more for killing and leaving the carcasses out to rot. It was with my best friends family, who are as redneck as they come. They hated weed, but yet they smoke a pack a pack of ciggs. and drank a case of beer daily :rolleyes: but luckily at the time I was still a drinker, so I survived. My friend uncle, used this high powered rifle to shoot a deer. I can't remeber the exact gun, but he shot a deer in the side, and lets just say his insides, were on the outside after. It was a huge hole too, and I'm guessing a 4inch round hole, through and through. He just laughed about it and danced around his kill all drunk and sloppy. It made me sick, and the worst part is, he just left the carcass there. Total waste.

So yeah, hunting for survival and food, that's cool :thumbsup: but just for a kill, come on, get a life man.
