Did this exact thing in Elizabeth City 40 years ago, rules were the same then. Some taxidermists (there was one in Currituck Co. at the time) have permits to handle such animals if they are given to schools, museums, etc. Mine went to a school.
I actually know a guy who's eat one. This was during the depression when times were tough. He said his mom had cooked it for the family. Without a doubt he said it was the worst thing he's ever ate.
Not owl but my paw paw used to tell me about eating crow during that time as well
I remember this being a regular in the little house on the Prairie books.Blackbird pie. ?
Crow meat looks and tastes like a big dove ...
Blackbird pie. ?
Don't feel alone I've talked to ton people that don't know you can't kill birds of prey I work around majority non hunters lot they don't know they can never figure out why hunt turkey in spring thinking its should be Thanksging time only
No doubt I feel like biologist half time at work explaining things like why its better to let hunter harvest a deer that it get crushed on road and go to waste. That's one biggest amazing how many people tell me about the deer eating everything around but won't let hunter hurt the poor thingsThose kind of conversations are great in-roads to teach non-hunters how many conservation efforts are due solely to sportsmen [legal hunters]. If not for us, poachers would've wiped out many species of animals.
