Hunt1253 teachmetohunt Woodsman Registered: 12/12/12 Posts: 190 Loc: Charleston SC	Gave it a try...hopeless. First 2 sticks i ate seemed ok....then the rancid fish taste hit me like a train. Dear goddd. we shoot these things all the time down here. They swoop in fast and look like woodies so it's hard to not to. in case anyone else had the idea...dont waste your time lol

JoeCowboy Bird Dog Registered: 05/02/10 Posts: 321 Loc: Tyler, Tx	I just cut em into strips and smoke em, then use them for dog treats. Gotta be careful not to over do it though bc they tend to induce the runs... _________________________ "Never trust any man until you've seen him shoot at something dangerous, or that he wants really badly, at 50 yards or under....The short distance uncovers what's inside of him.
