yes this ^^^^... hubby adds a little salt to the water when he does it. I heard milk is also good to soak game in to help with the gamey flavor

My uncle and cousin have always hunted ever since I can remember. While I never really ate too much of what they got, I'm not against it. I am against the "trophys" he has displayed in his house. They just creep me out.

When I was growing up out in the country we raised cows, pigs and chickens to be butchered. We always had a full freezer (or two) of meat. I watched plenty of these animals be butchered. Yet I grew up and I am a huge animal lover. I am not a vegetarian. But at this point in my life....I'd rather not see my meal alive before I'm going to eat it. I would never make it on the show Survivor. And I can't stand to see the lobster tank at the local Chinese restaurant.
