Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Calf fries

I've been going there for years. We would have weigh ins on goose hunting contest there. They would also have duck and goose calling contest there. They shut down for a while when Bruce died but the kids opened it back up. I've been there a bunch of times! I never had even one calf fry! And unless I'm starving, I never will! LOL!

We have always called them Rocky Mountain Oysters! LOL!

You ain’t hadm cooked right 😆

Howdy Dwayne, all good here, good to hear from you on the ol' 'Fire!


When banding you gotta make sure and get both nuts. Sometimes that takes a bit of work, especially when your 75 year old dad is fending off a pissed off cow with an old aluminum scoop shovel while you've got her calf on a rope and on the ground putting a rubber band on junior's nuts.....lol

Sam;
Afternoon once more sir, thanks for the reply.

For sure when they're too small, it's tough to find both of the balls.

The rancher himself was the best at being able to massage them down and get both.

Indeed when one is doing the fresher calves in the field, some of the mamma cows don't believe we had the best interests of their calves in our hearts.

Best to you all.

Dwayne

Still have several nut fry's around here every year, mostly during hunting season. One KoC stag is a man's meal, the menu is nuts, gizzards, ham and beans, and as an appetizer, raw burger. The only vegetable in sight is pickle spears.

Dwayne, Yelloweye Rockfish tonight here in the palace.

My wife fried it up in olive oil and some delicious breading. I like it better than halibut.



We don't have any seafood restaurants here so make do with the traveling fish truck.

I used to get a huge craving for fresh seafood when I lived in the mountains hundreds of miles for the nearest coast...

I tried to hurt myself on large fried Gulf shrimp for a couple years after I moved closer.

Barlow pocket knife’s and brown paper bags bring the flavor

I've seen heeler dogs eat too many nut caps and nuts and puke.

Gotta have it in some form or another or a guy gets hungry!

Same.

Always said......... "I don't eat anything that belongs in a gutpile". I will amend that to also add "nutpile".

Had some last night. Gonna try adding a little cajun twist to them next go round and sprinkle liberally with Tony Chachares seasoning.

Anytime there’s a banquet, picnic, or feed of any description around here that has calf fries they’re always the first thing gone. I’ve literally seen a caterer run out of calf fries and have steaks left over.

I like them fine but but hated cutting calves back in the day, always hot, bloody, dirty, schiet covered work. Of course I like most all the other organ meats too, besides kidneys, I leave them to the local Indians.

Been watching the red bluff roundup on the cowboy channel, we watch rodeo's most of the week,, growing up we cut calves twice a year50-60 head and always had nut fries after,, also lotta pig nuts,,which are more tender,,, But either one better be ate hot,, when they cool they aint that good,,

large shrimp 4.89lb, started to get a couple of lbs to fire up, but opted for fajitas instead.

There is a whole bunch of fish that is better than halibut.


Like pretty much all known fishes.

Right!?

Lamb fries are really good cooked up like bake beans.

I don't understand the attraction personally.

Have you ever heard a fly complain about eating a mouthful of bullshit?

I don’t have to eat something to know I won’t like it…
