Mainer, I hear you. All of the above that you have written applied to those of us that lived in the boonies in California also. My Grandpa taught me as a little girl that you eat anything that you kill, and kill only for food or in self defense. That came in handy when we moved next door to a turkey ranch, and the flies were terrible that year. They covered the south walls of our house. I caught another neighbors son shooting our lizards. I told him what Grandpa had told me so many years before. He got sick to his stomach at the thought of eating a lizard. He never shot another of our lizards. His excuse had been that his Dad was always afraid of lizards! So much for parenting.
