Cicadas - Are you hungry?

[Calvin45]

John the Baptist is said to have survived on locusts and wild honey... I always think there must not have been enough honey haha

I have eaten salted Bumble bees, fried grashoppers and chocolate covered ants washed down with Saki, but you have to be carefull. Dont know why, but they will make you very drunk.

Our local trout are having a field day, but the noise is nearly deafening. I will be wearing my noise cancelling headphones tomorrow.

It sounds like a 50's Science Fiction Movie around here. But your right, excellent fish bait.

They're not here yet - but last time, you're right. The sound was very eerie. I'd never heard it before and did not have a clue what i was hearing!!! Sounded like something from the Twilight Zone

I heard those that are allergic to shellfish can't eat them. Make me wonder if they taste like shrimp.

 

[59FLH]

Let us know.

[GrayCreed]

What caliber do you recommend for cicada hunting?

12 caliber

 

[Muddyboots]

I bet a .410 would be great pass shooting fir them!

 

[xsn10s]

Let us know.

I can't. I'm allergic to shellfish.

 

[Ol' Red]

No!

So cicada scampi is never going to be on the menu at Red Lobster?

Not at the moment ...

I'll have to pass. To my knowledge the only reason they leave the ground is to mate. So they're basically made up of a skeleton, semen or eggs.

As another said I've got a freezer full of game.

Good luck and shoot straight y'all especially if at cicadas
