Catch and Cook WILD RED FOX!!! | PRIMITIVE BOW DRILL FIRE | EATING FOX MEAT

I accidentally snared a red fox while looking for snowshoe hare so I decided to use it as any Native American would, and cooked it, and ate it.

Before you complain, ask yourself what you would have done if you found a fox in your snare meant for a rabbit?

Maybe you would have just left it there to rot, maybe you would have tried your best to figure out way to do something with the fur.

Well, I actually did it, just as any person who decides to live off the land would have. I actually cooked it and ate it.

Maybe you’re just a better human being than me, and wouldn’t have even set any snares to begin with, because you’re morally superior, and would have just gone to the grocery store and bought an animal that was already dead, or maybe you just don’t eat meat at all.

The reality is that we all impact the world in one way or another, vegetarians clear vast forests for farmland, and people who buy meat from grocery stores, hire other people to kill animals for them. If you think you’re better than me, it’s because you haven’t even done the mental exercise to realize your role in affecting the planet.

For cooking fox, I followed a very simple formula. I brinned the meat in seasoning salt for around 5 days, then dried it, covered it in oil and seasoned it with my world famous Woodobo spice (recipe below). After that I wrapped it in tin foil to keep the moisture in, I baked it over the fire for around two hours.

The meat was fall off the bone delicious!

I start the fire using a primitive bow drill using materials I find around me!

For the record, Native American hunters would trap fox in snares, dead fall traps, metal foot holds, and even hit them over the head with a paddle if they could. They were also recorded as having smoked them out of their dens.

Red fox is taken under a small game license in Ontario, Canada during specific open seasons. They are not to be targeted with snares, but catching one by accident does happen. We have a very strong population of red fox, so there is no risk of extirpation.

The fur will be featured in a separate video.
