It is very plump and probably has lots of meat... I was apprehensive at first purely because it looked intimidating, but sucked it up and grabbed it, put it in my bucket which I had luckily just picked up while walking through the woods because I thought the bucket was neat (really rustic looking and nice for flowers). So I definitely lucked out there! Anyway, I'm skinning and cooking it tomorrow. Didn't even know if it was okay to eat skunk meat but I see that since other people have I will try it.

I have my grandfathers well worn and noted edition. Kephart has many recipes for unusual game. I sort've get the feeling the guy would skin and eat most anything that moved and could be shot or trapped. The book included everything you need to know about supplying a camping trip, setting up kitchen, how to dress and preserve game pluse recipes. <br /><br />I don't know if I've ever sent you the link before but here goes: <br /><br />http://books.google.com/books/about/Camp_Cookery.html?id=CFwEAAAAYAAJ<br /><br />Lesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-11590291900751577542013-04-11T07:24:38.397+10:002013-04-11T07:24:38.397+10:00Thanks, all, for your comments. there are no skunk...Thanks, all, for your comments. there are no skunks in Australia, so I probably wont ever get the chance to try it (I think I am a little relieved!) I doubt there is a woodland critter that hasnt been eaten at some time or other.

I wonder how 'ripe' the meat would be after hanging for a few days or if it would remove the gaminess.
