I was raised next to my granddad. Spent a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of time with him.He was raised at at time when you just did'nt ride down to wallmart and pick up dinner. Theyed eat everything and everything they could trap or kill. It pertty much ran over to me.
So things like rabbits,squirrels,coons, ground hogs.turtles,frogs, rattle snakes were all fair game and no that bad. It's all really good exspecially in a cooking bag BQ. I grew up eating lots of snaping turtles. We'd also gig ,shoot frogs but we never just eat the legs we'd skin and deep fry the whole frog. It their big the tenerloins as big as the legs. And the front legs as good as the back ones.
My granddad as a for real gobbler hunter. He hunter every spring in NC. at a place called DARK HOLLOR. The old guy he was friends with owned a mountain (miles and miles). They aways had a big turkey camp. I use to go with him growing up. They alway have a big frog fry couple 100 or more. The also eat the whole frog.
Growing up all fish were fair game to gig,arrow or set gill nets ,traps. Even a couple really illeagle ways of fishing were used at times.

Well, I've giged frogs and they are good to eat. But I have access to tons of carp and gar. My dad ate a lot of carp growing up. They used walnut husks to stun them in the creeks, then his mother would pressure cook them and can them. I had iguana down in Mexico once, but I don't think I'll see any around here. Squirrel, rabbit, frogs are all normal. I am interested in other critters. Like armadillo for example. Is it really dangerous to eat?
Ed Brooks:
I have not hunted or even seen one in the wild. however I can tell you cougar is really good, we had the back straps given to us. it was cut thin rolled in flower fried in grease and seasoned salt & pepper. Ed

Gopher pie! Stew like hedgeapple said and then bake it in a pie. Just like tiny beef! Stay away from ones that may have been grazing on pesticides.
