I used to like them fried or rather (warmed up) in butter:smile:
Raspberry shoots are also good in the spring, with just peeling off the skin but it would take forever to have more than a little snack

The raspberry bushes around are getting scarce. I like the fruit more than the root, lol.
I like the young cattail roots sliced on a dandelion salad. Thundefoot will eat them right outta the mud, lol.
That sucks. At least you have some monster Bucks though. I say that's a fair trade off, lol.
We don't go for channels until after Bass opens. The MNR always seem to think we're up to no good sitting in the dark on prime Bass spawning beds.
Tonight will be brown bull heads, or mud cats.
What test should I use to land a buck fish? Maybe next time we go see my sister inlaw to lend her money I'll drop a line in the river. Bait suggestions?
Chicken livers, wrapped around a 2/0 treble hook and a slip sinker. We run 50lbs test braided, and don't for a second think that's overkill!!! We've lost a lot of big Cats on 50lbs test. Besides the fact that where you find Channels, you find Sturgeon.
Same here. The recreational catch and release fishing for them is closed in Southern Ontario.
Frog's legs and catfish; now that takes me back about 50 years. Mom used to do something with those that had us begging dad to go out fishing and scooping through the reeds for those frogs. wish we'd known about the reeed roots back then; sounds like a meal all from one source area of a creek bed.
My love for Bullfrog legs, and Snapping turtle soup, is what first got me into the environmentalist movement.
I noticed 20 years ago, that the big tasty bastards were slowly getting more and more scarce. The MNR hasn't restricted the taking of either to any great extent, as they should.
There needs to be a moratorium until the populations get back to a sustainable level, in southern Ontario.
Yep, like most wildlife.
Than you have the added stress of urban sprawl, wetland pollution and destruction.
Wetlands are well mannaged here. DU and Sask Water teamed up a loooooooong tinme ago. We have excellent wildlife management here. Almost too good. 500 more moose tags this year but in zones that 20 years ago had no moose or elk.
Not really. It is a simple statistical procedure. It can be determined in poor regions in broad strokes because the food deficiency for the country or area is knowable. Deaths from other cause can be deducted from the total and the deaths from starvation assumed from the balance. Obviously a bit more complex in the working than that but you can get the idea. Inrich countries these problems exist, in the extreme, only in small pockets and are subsumed in larger numbers. Only egregious and obvious cases can be counted.
That does not mean that a group that is below the poverty line and below what is needed to adequately feed itself is not suffering from severe deficiency.
The UN guy was right on the money and still our federal government refuses to solve the problem
Head down to your local food bank and donate. Better yet, drop some cash in the pockets of those on the streets that appear to have the need.
There's nothing stopping you

This is the government job to solve where are they on this one?

... And what exactly do you expect the gvt to do on this?
In the end, the primary responsibility for this lies with the individual and for those that fall on hard times, out reach services do exist to provide a hand up.
