Jonathon this was a river otter that tried to steal are leech locker when we were on a canoe trip in northern MN. They are cool animals.
On another note about what you guys talked about, I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick about 5 years ago. That sucked!!!
-
River otters are making a comeback in neighboring Nebraska where we live. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission determined that the numbers were high enough that they opened a trapping season on river otters this year for the first time ever.
There are also enough mountain lions in Nebraska now that they are issuing a limited number of hunting permits for them. Same here with elk.
It is a pretty encouraging sign when a species numbers are high enough that you can start to hunt and trap them. -
Never heard of them would they be the same as muskrats?

Not the same as a muskrat. Muskrats are rodents.
Otters are not.
-
samspade they are quite a bit different. River otters are pretty cool! Muskrat look like a miniature beaver except they have a rat like tail.
-
Wow. I never new they existed. Cute as heck
-
Now the wife tells me she watched a whole show on them. Lol I gotta put my phone down more often
-
Muskrat = next will it BBQ?

Ridley Acres I have heard of muskrat soup here. I don’t think muskrat would be very high on my to eat list unless I was starving!

ND Mike I’d say it would be better than cockroaches, caterpillars and all creepy crawlies that these wackos on tv are eating

twilliams ND Mike I have eaten some weird/unusual foods, lots of crispy snacks from street vendors in SEA and local delicacies from just local folks sharing their meal from to many places to name. All an experience I wouldn’t trade, though not always the best tasting things I have eaten.
I would agree. I almost never rule out trying a new dish/food just because of what it is.
A lot of what we mentally perceive as “good” food is ingrained in us culturally and even subconsciously from the time we a little.I may not always like a new food, but you never know that until you have a taste.
-
YooperDog I’m with you on those experiences. Some I definitely won’t do again, like balut and fried grass hoppers. Funny thing is how the folks in those countries think they are delicious. The first time I tried kimchi was in Pohang Korea and have been hooked ever since.

processhead I have very few food aversions(?) growing up in a Polish and eastern European neighborhood. You never asked what is it, just had to try a little so not to be rude or get a dad size helping. Now many of those are comfort foods.

GWG8541 my short time in Korea I discovered many styles of kimchi and learned that I really enjoyed it, my crew not so much,
. I haven’t tried bolut, but my brother has a Phillipino friend that makes them, might be worth a try. A buddy and I that crewed together over the years made it a point to get to know locals where we were. Those actions allowed us some some cultural insight, have some food stories, made some great acquaintanceships and had some interesting meals. Actually I think sometimes they were just trying to see at what point we would fold. Most of the time we just had a blast trying to communicate. -

I was introduced to Bulgogi by Korean Marines at Mountain Warfare school in Pohang, along with lots of OB and Soju. In PI it took alot of alcohol to get the balut down. I would rather eat the grasshoppers again, than try the balut.
