CAPYBARAS
« on: September 10, 2016, 04:17:58 pm »
 ;DLooks like we might be getting another good eating critter to hunt in Central Florida. On the News last night they reported about Capybaras on the loose and breeding in the Gainesville Florida area. They usually have 12 or more little critters in a litter. They reported them moving south towards where I live and will be devastating to our strawberries, blueberries and small citrus trees not to mention the melons we grow here, also. I've ate these in South America and are really good slow roasted on a fire. You have to love dumb Rednecks buying exotic animals at the Flea Market and then letting them loose when they get too big. I'm looking forward to slinging an arrow at one. :)

I'm sure they will head your way, Howard. Heck, you sent us the Armadillo. The study the NC University did on  pythons said they are adapting to cold weather and will be in NC within ten years. These rat boogers like the warm swamps, I hope it makes itself at home in the Green Swamp Mngt Area.

Bob, it's a big ass rat without the tail, around #50. The ones you see in side shows at Carnivals, "Giant Rats".

Darryl Q and Denny S shot some and tanned the hide. Darryl has used it on most all of his self bow grips. Its unique leather, almost sued like on both sides.

I'm sure Chris would want some. But, like pigs, I'm not driving 9 hours with a stinky Rat in a Jeep.

Eddie I bet the hide tanned would make some great string silencers to.
