Migisi:
I was afraid to consider using chicken, even crushed, because of their splintery bones....
the deer meat, I was hoping to use in early training as tidbits, because it is deep red, but I am unsure of how much is too much without a whole critter.
In Missouri, the way that I read the laws, only the "HOUSE" sparrow and european starling is open season, no limit year round. I was afraid to even try pigeon and dove for the typical reasons (frounce, herpes, etc.)
I don't WANT to feed them the starling, but I think I will need to at some point, because of the limits on other types of game here. I don't know ANY trappers, but it may be something that I later take up....I am into wilderness survival, primitive hunting, and pretty much everything you will learn in the Boy scouts or Army...(kinda broad statement there!) But as of now, I don't know of anyone....yet.
I do know someone who has a big chunk of property on the river ...so I will bug them about muskrats the next time I am there, but that will probably be in the summer.
And I am not sure which sparrow is the house sparrow or if they are ALL house sparrows...my ID books never use that term....so I figure, don't trap something if you are not sure of the species.....that is asking for trouble.....starlings on the other hand.....I know what they look like!!!
And I actually thought about "home trapped mice" yesterday...as I have heard complaints from several family members about that problem, and I am offering to take the FRESH dead mice off their hands....they never use poison...so I figured that would be perfectly OK....
I wonder about the people with kessies and how they go about hunting mice in fields.....makes me curious! hard prey to track.....
