This thread is very random lol. And informative. :D

I know deer is ok, not sure about wild turkey, etc. I don't see why not though. My husband is also a hunter. Were getting a dwarf caiman this summer, and plan on putting game in our freezer for it. While its there, Ill feed some to the Tegu when I get it (when its warm enough to ship). I'm kinda excited about it.

See I've read that venison is fine but I was assuming that meant farmed deer/elk.
I know a few people won't eat any meat from a wild animal because they think it's "sicker" than farmed animals...different diseases and such.
But tegus would normally eat things from the wild, right? Although I doubt I'd see one taking down a bear.

I currently hunt in Pennsylvania and we're only allowed like...one of everything. But Georgia, where I'm moving this summer, has totally different laws and one person can take 12 deer, something like 12 pheasants a day, up to 3 turkeys, etc. And if we're out that much, which knowing me and my fiance we will be (we like being able to feed ourselves for a few months), may as well find another purpose for all that meat.

I eat wild deer all the time. Love deer jerkey. Does anyone honestly know 100% where thier meat comes from???

I will say, I know where I hunt too. My uncle owns 350 acres half woods. He's a farmer, but doesn't do the harsh chemicals. Husbands family owns 100 acres in Amish country. It's strictly camping ground. The only thing I can think of is if the animals have eaten anything with pesticides on it.

Most produce have pesticides on them so we'd be eating them anyway, kinda? I mean unless you go organic.

Seeing the size of my big guy's yawns...I'm wondering if he could eat a rabbit at this point. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that though.

Considering he keeps trying to eat the cat's tail lately, it might be time to move up to bigger prey for the brat.

Dubya, people parts are nasty and unhealthy, full of chemicals. I wouldn't feed it to any of my pets. Just sayin... However, they are probably well preserved with all the hot dogs and McNuggets we eat.

Dog poop is not organic if your dog gets oral heartworm preventative or flea products such as Comfortis...just sayin again. :)

Reuse, recycle. I wish my dogs did that. Then I would only have to clean up poop half the time. D, did you see "Human Centipede"?

Unfortunately yes.yes I did. One of my daughter's 'wilder ' friends brought it over a couple years back. I never want to see it again, and thanks for making me think of it again... haha. *shudder* *tries to stifle back vomit* :)
