In this episode we show you how to harvest and cook an escaped/exotic pea hen (pea fowl/pea cock) which is legal in Texas since it is considered an domesticated animal. We cook the giant bird in a dutch oven using a dry pluck technique to preserve all the nutrients and fat in the skin. We pair this up with some left over cat meat from stew as well as mullberries we collect ripe from trees near our camp.

Unlike Naked and Afraid, ALONE, or Survivorman, there is no limit to the tools we are allowed to use. Living off just WILD foods is harder than you think!

In this episode we set lines for giant alligator gar using liver as bait and circle hooks on bank line or paracord. We catch a huge alligator gar and clean it using simple tools. We grill the alligator over open fire and also boil it to see which way is better. This alligator gar is huge and massive. The alligator gar can grow to be 80 years old and are prehistoric beasts!

We hunt FERAL hog too!

We fish for catfish, alligator gar, long nose gar and drum, crawfish, crawdads, or yabbies, ghost shrimp, bluegill, rio grande perch, armored catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish, alligator, freshwater clams, leopard Frog.
