I watched a report, could have been 60mins, where the kids hunted spiders, I think they were Tarantulas, they would then bbq them and eat them as it was thee ONLY source of protein.... almost brought a tears to my eyes to think the kids are that desperate(especially considering the $$$ the world has been pumping into the developing world for years....

I think eating insects, or Fox or dog or cat is just that - sheer desperation. This BS about adopting an insect diet as they are a great source of protein... just another extremist environmentalist ploy to reduce or stop us farming livestock "to save ourselves from ourselves, before the globe is destroyed by flatulent cows...

I'll keep my bovine/ovine/piscine/porcine diet. Thanks.

I wish I could find a photo I took of a fox I shot that was having breakfast on a fox I shot the night before hanging on the fence.

But back to the OP. Yes I have meet a guy who has eaten fox and been spotlighting with him, he was on the old Shooting Australia forum before it got shut down. He did tell me that he did like it, not sure on his cooking style. I wont mention his name.

But who here eats wild pig or croc they eat bloody anything and everything. So I supposed it depends on how it's cooked.

For me fox ummm no, I'll just hydraulic them with the 22-250.

Must have tasted like chicken... Isn't that what farmed croc are fed?

No way wild - There's no wild harvesting allowed here, only culling when they take a human to show that 'they' are keeping the places safe :evil:

Like roo shooting in Vic.... not fit for human consumption apparently, they prefer we feed our kids Maccas... and preservative enriched food in a bag :?
