Hippolya???

 

[gmc2003]

We don't have such an endearing term as "coonass" to refer to ourselves in these parts, but I'm we could make a good showing at such a hunt lol.

How about Jack, Dumb, or Lard.

Just joshing with ya Doug

I bet indaswamp and chilerelleno could come up with some great cooking and sausage recipes to use. I say off them systematically and feed as many people as you can. They have no business entering another environment when they are far from endangered in their home terf.

I'm ready, lets go.

 

[indaswamp]

OH MAN!! Think of the size of that HIPPO BACON!!!! LOL!!! And the guanciale!!! Wow....Carbonara for DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Coach JoeQB]

Inda you must be a paisan!

Don't hear that term often.....but that I am. Italian, French with a little German and Native American.

I got a 2'x4' cutting board but don't think that's big enough lol, I wouldn't be afraid to process 1, need a big cooler to hang it in,

I'm mostly French Canadian (precursors to the cajuns, unless my history is in error) with a little German and Irish and Native American tossed in.

What if this hippo tastes like a rank Billy goat?

Well, if you're starving, it shouldn't be much of an issue lol.

I love when humanitarian efforts miss the forest through the trees.
Invasive species to remove.
Hungry people in the region.
Let's ship them away.
I'm too pragmatic to be a politician.

I've had goat many times. I rather like it.
Rank arrives when the stink glands aren't removed before butchering.
Smelled like a buck goat thanks to a college roommate and his research project for a semester.

Age is everything with goat and lamb.

Let me see if I've got this right. We're going to load hippos in boxes, without tranquilizers. Then we're going to load them in planes, BUT, we're going to have people onboard to tranquilize as needed. At what point does that happen? It must be after the animal is out of the box. Do we wait until the sides of the plane are bulging from being rammed? The possibilities for a poor outcome are endless. We should have video from start to finish. There's a tv show in this for sure. These are not Walt Disney's tutu clad hippos from Fantasia, dancing for the entertainment of the potheads in the crowd.

Just read about this the other day. This really is a non-issue. They said if they are left for another decade, population could go over 400...which is also not a problem. They are foreign and invasive. Just shoot them, eat them or burry them.

My grandfather would have called this a "weekend fix". Couple groups of guys with big firepower and probably some really cool memories. They prob could make some money on it if they wanted to and allow some exotic hunting. Allow 5-10 to be shot every year. Keep the population in check and at the same time some wealthy hunters would pay big bucks for the opportunity.

I always wondered what it would be like to come across one of those giant stashes of cash. Would really like to be that guy.
