Antonian wild game dinner

[Slim-Rob]

I went to the Antonian Alumni Wild Game Dinner last night. Tickets were 50 bucks(i think), and that got you an all you can eat meal. (all profits benifit Antonian). This was no regular meal though. the meal included: parisa, roast pig, shrimp, oysters, smoked salmon, cheese and meat trays, vegetable trays, chips and salsa, cajun fried turkey, roast venison, variety of exotic game, spicy red fish (DELICIOUS), fried venison backstrap, venison sausage, grilled quail, rabbit, dove. Served with: pinto beans, rice pilaf, carne guisada, venison chili w/pork & beef, breads/tortillas, olives, onions, pickles, desserts, coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer and wine. They had 2 20 item auctions with 20 item raffle drawings in between and after. They had a raffle, $1 a ticket and altogether gave away about 15 guns, (rifles, shotguns, pistols). They auctioned off another 10 or so guns, knifes, a painting, a dog and some boots, along with a lot of other stuff. The door prize was a Texas Lifetime Hunting or Fishing License. There was a Kawasaki Mule Raffle drawing, $20 a ticket. 2nd pick for that Mule was a $500 Cabelas gift card. There was another type of raffle in which they used decks of cards to determine the winner. You had a 1 in 52 chance of winning, at $20 A CARD. needless to say I bought a card and did not win:(. One of the guys with us bought a few cards and ended up winning a Benneli(sp?) 12 guage camoflauged shotgun.

Overall I had fun. I liked a lot of the meat they had, except the buffalo meatloaf. I'm not a big meatloaf fan, so this may be the reason I disliked it. I loved the Spicy Red Fish (fried) and the quail. I sure do wish I had won something though:( I bought a $20 card and 20 $1 tickets, and didn't win anything. Had I won a shotgun it would have been my brothers a year and 2 months. ('till i turned 18) but I didn't win so its all good.


Has anyone else had wild game before? If so, let me know what kind to stay away from in the future.

The only wild game I've had was venison sausage. My uncle killed the deer and had the meat processed...it was mighty good eatin'!

Havalina is really good if cooked right.

First of all, if your shotgun is camouflaged how can you find it?

I didn't like wild duck when I tried it but I did like wild goose. Moose is pretty good. It was prepared like Canadian bacon.

I've had rat pudding with not so much rat in it. It was bloody awful. Monty Python

Dove is good when wrapped in bacon and a jalapeno slice.

My mom refuses to eat anymore wild game, she bit down on a piece of shot eating quail once and crushed one of her teeth.

They also auctioned away 2 Ruger Vaquero (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/forum/vB/sequentially%20numbered%20pair) sequentially numbered handguns.

Quail is great.
Dove is tough, but pretty good.
Rabbit is good fried like chicken. Jackrabbits are tough, stick to cottontails.
Squirrel is good that way too, but not as good.
Fresh frog legs, not the ones in the store, fried, is excellent.
Deer is good, but you need to know someone who knows how to properly prepare it.
Elk back strap, cut and fried like chicken fried steak, is possibly the absolute best piece of meat you will ever eat.

Either moose, elk, or caribou (one of those big yank animals) is the leanest meat of all. I haerd somewhere that a cow is like 80% lean or something and a caribou is like 95%...so it's very healthy.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

...but does it taste good? whether or not the meat is good for me is not important if it tastes like cardboard....

rattlesnake really is pretty good

alligator(yeah, I lived in La for 1 year) is good too
