fishmounter Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Saw all kinds of carp in the shallows on Prior Lkae this afternoon and would like to try bowfishing but am wondering what everyone does with these carp after harvesting them? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbor_guy Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Clean, cool water, and under 6lbs = filleted and smoked.All others, garden fodder, or frozen and placed in the garbage on garbage day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowblazah Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 My grandfather has a small poultry farm and we usually freeze the carp, then run them through a chipper shredder and the chickens absolutely LOVE it! It also doubles their egg production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aanderud Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 That's hilarious! I didn't know chickens were carnivores (or I guess I should say omnivores)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That's hilarious! I didn't know chickens were carnivores (or I guess I should say omnivores)! Try throwing a frog or small snake into a chicken pen. Lots of wild birds like pheasants eat bugs and frogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
