Has anyone eaten Gopher?

Just wondering if anyone here has ever ate gopher?

how's things in Conrad? was born and raised in MT but left after the cali invasion...never tried gopher, but I have eaten porcupine which was OK...

Well, I Gopher pizza quite often and I also Gopher take-out Chinese. Does that count? :D

I've eaten "Parka squirrels". They are kinda like prairie dogs. They live in holes in the ground. They taste OK but are pretty greasy.

Well......they eat grass and soybeans so they should be pretty tender. Can't imagine why anyone would want to eat one but I suppose you can if you want.

Well Rick I guess if that was the only game around and you were hungry you would eat a gopher. I have also heard them called ground squirrels. I have not seen any other squirrels here yet.

Oh, you bet. I would. Ground squirrels to me are these @#$$%@ animals. It would take a mess of ground squirrels to get any meat: :

We actually don't have gophers. We do have groundhogs which is what I thought you were talking about.

I don't have photshop, but that gopher is just begging to have a bullseye placed on him.

I seen a guy trap a Marmot and eat it, not much meat on those things. Even though they look chunky.

Ahhh... the power of suggestion....

(didn't do that picture post quite right - they showed up as thumbnails... but if you click on 'em - note the label on the griddle).

Now you've done it!

OK - those are funny.

But I've got to point out that mine are "original" creations.

Flipping the safety cover on the BAN button. Turning the key. Hand hovering over the big red button.

Now you've done it. Rick's going to give up his plans for that .308 and go full auto.

I've never eaten gopher, but I have had some tangy beaver

Oh no... I've put Rick at DEFCON 1...

Don't do it! Don't do it!

Just think of the women and children.

;)

* I missed the title "Super Moderator" under your Avatar. I didn't realize I was poking fun at someone with access to the big red button.

Hey, by way of apology, I could slap together a new Avatar for ya - something with a big SM on the front. A red cape maybe?

(shaking head) Not going there. I'm not. I won't do it. No. It's just too easy. I'll wait for a hard shot.

Funny, I didn't picture Rick being into that.

And he doesn't like to be made fun of. He has no sense of humor. (Dancing finger around BAN button).
