MikeF-NH, thanks for the great information about wild game! When I see all the pesky geese I wonder why they aren't hunted more often?! There are a lot of hungry people who could benefit from then and it would solve the overpopulation problem.
Inspired by the Recipe thread, I have been doing some reasearch on how to best prepare alligator that I have been wanting to try. I came across an interesting article about marinating and tenderizing. Milk, buttermilk, sourcream and yogurt seem to be the way to go.
