I've never shot a gallinule but have eaten dozens of them the dogs have caught over the years, and I think they're fine.

Many of those silly little things getting run over by the camp. We've had to brake quite often this past weekend.

Decided to stay north this weekend and watch college football, why not break out the black pot too? Working on a jambalaya. I cook my meat and veggies down for a few hours before finishing with the rice and water.

Is that Zatarains jumbalaya mix from a box?
We do it too but have found that if you add a can of Rotel it adds the right amount of zing.
Add hot sausage and smoked sausage too. I like it spicy.
One of my hunting buddies made it one day in camp and it caught on.
Never tried chicken in it yet. More meat...more betta.
