2.) Swamp Fox - 05/03/2016
Yum!


We don't have a lot of morels around here, but we do seem to have a lot of people who want to find some. :-)


Those steaks are making me hungry! Who went axis hunting? What's the meat like?

My mom went down there and shot one.


It really depends on what they're eating. Her uncle lives down there and he has an alp alpha field she shot it out of. So it isn't much different than a white tail buck. A little gamey and a little tough but not bad at all. I've heard if you shoot the ones in brush country they are down right bad...

The only fungus we have around Texas is toad stools & I'm scared to eat them.

Let's not ask Swampy if he has any fungus! :grin:

Elk and fiddle heads.
9.) Swamp Fox - 06/02/2016
I had to look up fiddleheads. I'm not sure we have much of a fern presence around here. Although maybe I walk right by stuff. I think I'll keep a closer eye peeled.

These are about a day or two too late. any later than this they get bitter. when they are good they taste between asparagus and green beans.

All ferns go through a "fiddlehead" stage, but when talking edibles the term has become a shorthand specifically for the fiddlehead stage of the Ostrich Fern, which occurs...among many other places...in areas of N. Carolina (I don't really know which areas, but I believe I saw some along the Blue Ridge Pkwy many years ago):
