Re: [aroid-l] Woodchuck problem

From: "plantsman" <plantsman at prodigy.net> on 2004.07.25 at 18:30:32(11806) Perhaps we need to look at alternative organic solutions. In Laos the farmers deal with extraordinarily destructive cane rats in padi fields by the simple expedient of BBQing them (the cane rats, not the padi fields). So.... is woodchuck good eating? If yes, perhaps you could initiate a bounty system with the local kids (as is done in Laos; the kids use catapults with deadly accuracy (not just on the cane rats either; I had a bruised butt to prove that point)) and then have the woodchuck equivalent of a clam-bake? Pete +More ================= Reliable sources (my late grandfather) told me that groundhogs were very good to eat. He had a little chihuahua dog named Ricky that would go into the burrow after them and drag them out and then he would shoot them. As kids, we thought it was funny to see that little dog bravely go after an animal several times his size but we would never eat any of it. My grandma would fried them up for him like chicken in a great big iron skillet. David Sizemore
