Today I’m finally posting my quail how-to video. I’ve written about it before, but I never could task anyone into holding the camera while I went through the process. I was finally able to talk my youngest daughter into helping, she is a trooper. BE WARNED, THE VIDEO SHOWS ME

Life (and Death) on the Homestead
As a husband, a father, and a prepper, one of the driving forces for the things I do is to protect my family from hardships. From battery jump boxes in both vehicles in order to prevent my wife from being stranded, to having plenty of ammunition to kill the zombies if/when they show up, keeping […]
Gator Hunting – Part 2 (Filling the Last Tag)
First I want to say that we have a new sponsor! Stacey’s Tasties has decided to join my list of supporters. She offers a long lists of canned jams and jellies, including my personal candied jalapeno recipe. She sells out quickly, but is always making more….drop her a line to see what she has in […]
Gator Hunting
I’ve done my share of hunting over the years. I started with squirrels, then on to rabbits and the elusive grouse. Eventually I graduated to groundhogs, deer and turkeys. (I put groundhogs in that category because of the longer shots needed on some of those pesky little hole-diggers.) But I’ve never hunted a dinosaur before. […]
Fast Easy Way to get Water Out of a Coconut
This one goes out to my buddy Barry, who seems to have a need for lots of coconut water for his moments of R&R. As my regular readers know, I’m coo-coo for coconuts… I’ve written a double handful of articles about them, eat them on dozens of different ways, fill my truck with them, and […]
My 2013 Lobster Mini Season Results
Every year, the Florida lobster becomes the obsession of a large mass of people…Some of those people only go diving the for the two day mini season, making them far from skilled divers. No, not all of them…but enough that I usually avoid lobster mini season. Since I dive for part of my living, I […]
White Grunt
Yesterday, I posted a picture of a fish I caught locally. Known as a White Grunt, this unassuming fish is much like the pineapple, it is one of the small cornerstones to Florida’s early development. Its been said many times (does repetition make a statement into fact if repeated often enough?) that when Henry Flagler […]

Repost: One Bad Day
Note: This is a repost of an article I wrote when I first started FloridaHillbilly.com. I’ve referred back to it multiple times, and feed it is worth revisiting. If you have not read it before, please do so. If you have, read it again, then pass it along to a friend. We should all be […]
Jerky
For every road trip, I like to have certain items packed up in a small cooler, located close at hand. Water to drink, some fruit, nuts, pork rinds, and of course, jerky. To me, nothing says “ROADTRIP!” like a big old bag of jerky. Beef, pork, rabbit, alligator, venison…. just about any type of meat […]
