2 cups bear fat or lard

3 Put a soup kettle on the stove and add the meat.
4 Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.
5 Lower the heat and boil until the meat is tender, about 40 minutes.

7 Make a batter by mixing together the egg yolks, milk, flour, salt and baking powder.

Too bad you guys didn’t post this a few weeks ago…

The farm behind my parent’s house was being brush hogged and the farmer ran over a skunk den…

I came over with my Volquartsen 22 and killed six…

Well, you kill, clean and freeze the skunks and I'll pay shipping and cook them. How's that for a deal?
