They are fun to watch. We don't feed them though. That would bring trouble and I would have to remove the trouble causers. When we first bought the property, the previous owners had been feeding them for years and they were running amuck in the house attic and grarage loft. I had to cull the herd to a manageable/fun number.   Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 10:10 am Old Pa Member Joined: 04 Aug 2008 Posts: 36 Location: Northwoods cw wrote: We actually have a pair of greys that live in our maple grove, down by the creek where we barbeque, that I let be.

Never ate one myself, but if you end up with that carcus, you can probably get some recipes on line. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The helpful tip was to make sure to remove the musk glands from both front armpits or you were really going to be sorry! Come to hink of it, my sainted wife, She Who Must Be Obeyed, is still looking for a 12VDC crockpot for me so that my Spring prairie poodle safari can be entirely "self sufficient". _________________ Doing my duty . . . the way I see it.

Now me, I prefer a nice medium rare steak with some dark ale, or perhaps something Mexican and spicey with a bucket of Dox XX amber, or maybe a nice garbage omelette and Chipotle Tabasco with homefries and Heinz 57 and a tart Pinot Grigio after a hard day in a dog town. _________________ Doing my duty . . . the way I see it.

Mark Twain   Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 5:33 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 I am afraid to ask. What is a garbage omlet?   Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 6:02 pm thepaladin Senior Member Joined: 12 Dec 2007 Posts: 930 Location: TN USA If I'm not mistaken isn't a garbage omlett one with any and all leftovers etc? Thought i''d help out: http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,raccoon,FF.html You I've camped out for years and I've used those wonderful wood powered cookers. The last time we had some strips pf meat that we scewered on green maple sticks and cooke over an open fire. of course I'd always gotten by with salt, my son, the gormet had his exotic spices he rolled it in. I can remember camping in the woods after eating a mixture of canned chile and brown beans we threw together in a skillet. Could probably have used one of those racoons that night. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Could probably have used one of those racoons that night. I use the term "garbage" at home with omlettes, salads and pizzas, for the most part. For me, it means a bunch of ingredients, more than you would get eating out, and possibly something unusual, but not everything left over in the icebox. Garbage omlettes I cook have seasoned eggs (eggbeaters, these days) with garlic, onions, mushrooms, green pepper, sundried, fire roasted or regular tomatoes, ham or bacon, and some kind of cheese (cheddar/swiss/goat/feta/blue). And, of course, the hot sauce. _________________ Doing my duty . . . the way I see it. "The trouble with most people is not what they don't know, but what they know for certain that isn't true."
