My initial comment in this thread was based on ignorance...no beef w/ dudes who hunt ethically and eat what they kill, that's as human as it gets. If it's not truly endangered and can be responsibly hunted enjoy. And Chavez that recipe really sounds good.
no offense taken by this hunter…it does have a BRUTAL aspect, no? it WOULD be nice if we could put them back like we do the fishes...
Its funny you say that because I've seen some ducks that look like that at a break I surf up here and they always tend to land in the water not far from me. I've laughed to myself because it seems like they just come crashing to the surface of the water, then stop and just look at me. Then they'll dive and pop up on the otherside.
long tails well, look at from their pov….you're white and black and you're bobbing; what else could you be except one of the gang…???
And I'm happy for the company too! I haven't seen any this winter but I have seen some snowy owls. On land though, not hanging out in the lineup with me. Unfortunately
Hunting responsibly. "Eat that, mother-humper!...Ya broke into the wrong gol-dang rec-room!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFNBUs7O-h4 One of my favorite sci-fi movies.
I have seen a couple of these guys hanging out with me http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-throated_Loon/id
