AyersTG,

Here in Brazil hunting is officially banned (not that it gives anyone pause). When I take teens out to teach survival skills I bring along live quail. They only cost about $.25 each and it gives the kids a chance to kill, pluck, and prepare their meat the way God intended (Acts 10:13). I figure this is better than turning them loose with slingshots.

I usually bring along roots we have available in the local market similar to ones that you can find in the bush here. They clean their birds, cut off the meat and slice the roots up real thin. That and a bullion cube and they never complain. A bit hesitant to lop the heads off at first but hunger has a way of working on people. Mac
