    I f you will eat this blindfolded, you will ask for more On many occasions, I have not enough time to prepare the meat myself so I need to send it to a local butcher. He will prepare sausages and salami at a decent price (~1 £/kg) Everything was OK for a while, I obtained great products but it was not outstanding until I discovered a small 'secret'. Each time I'm sending a wild boar to the butcher, I'm also sending a sheep to be mixed in the meat for sausages. The result is incredible! I'm always preparing them with fresh rosemary or thyme and some smashed garlic.

    Yeah, driven hunting is thrilling, the only part that I don't like about it is the vegetation from the beginning of the season. Boars of 200-300 kg could be seen more often in the plains/hills areas, especially in autumn (when they are doing important damages to the crops) but the ones with great tusks are usually 120-170 kg. Thank you. I'm buying them at ~20E from an old man who has this hobby. I'm using epoxy for filling and fixing the tusks

    Wild boar testicles Well, this is not a common meal. Most hunters will just throw them away right after gutting the carcass but I will always keep them (even in the mating season) When I took the pictures, I was really hungry and, since this recipe is requiring some time, I also added a tenderloin 1. Clean the testicles and cut them in 2. In the end, they should look like this: 2. Cover the testicles with vinegar and let them rest for 1 hour (young male) up to 1 day (old male). Meanwhile, quickly prepare the tenderloin with some olive oil, thyme, garlic a

    As I already explained HERE, the main way of hunting wild boars in Romania is at driven hunts with dogs and beaters. This way of hunting is not appreciated by everyone because some people will consider this dangerous due to slugs and bullets that could do harm at big distances or due to the bears that could/will appear, especially in autumn, in mountains & hills areas (2/3 of the country). A bear is usually not representing a danger to someone because they are still afraid of humans (don't know for how long with this exaggerated protection!) but at a driven hunt he is harassed by the dog

    It's just me or the taste is better if the animal was hunted, prepared & cooked by myself? I prefer to keep the recipe simple if I have good quality meat but I will add some more spices when I have meat from males hunted during the rut season. I will start this topic with something simple - roebuck 1. Hunt a roebuck...or 2 2. Skin the animal and prepare the carcass 3. Cut and clean the backstrap. I prefer to cut each backstrap in 2. 4. Rub the backstrap with some salt, pepper, coriander (dried seeds), put it in a plastic bag and let it in t

    Unable to load all the images at once. The tail of the cow also remained there. The rest of it was dragged in a thick bush 200m away and we decided to avoid going there (obvious reasons :D) This was a hungry big boy and after his appearance he remained the only one feeding from the carcas

    The bad part of the spring in the mountains of Romania is that the bears are hungry. Here is what left from a cow after 2 days..

    The last one in the group was a young male, fully covered in mud. Weird time for a bath if we consider the fact that the water is freezing during the night in this period of time. Probably he has some parasites to get rid off... I used the occasion to also bring something "sweet" for the deers (heavy load when you need to climb ~2-3 km) The good news are that spring is finally here...

    Yesterday I had a lovely tour in the nature in one of my favorite hunting areas from Carpathians. I managed to view some animals and also to take a few pictures. Here is a group of red deer females

    Imagine this: No other human on a 25 km radius, no artificial lights during the night

    Is the same animal, is just the difference from winter coat. I'm sure that it was a medal (at least silver). His father (the one from the bottom) was a gold medal. I will upload a better picture when I will be back home

    Nobody was able to shot him, he is now old and with a smaller trophy. Here is another picture of him but is made in spring (~250m distance and an old Nikon D3100 55-300)

    Driven hunting is, in my opinion, the traditional way of hunting in my country. The main species hunted this way are wild boars (the most popular), foxes, golden jackals, hares and pheasants. When we manage to get rid of the stupid bureaucracy imposed by the "greens", we are also hunting bears and wolves in the same way. We are not allowed to hunt red stags or roe deers in this way. In most cases, driven hunting is not possible without hunting dogs and we are using a variety of them but the most spreaded ones are Transylvanian Scenthounds (Sadly, due to frequent injuries, many hunters are n

    @Haiddheliwr Thank you @Cockers89 small progress with the pups. 3 months old for the german wirehaired pointer, training started in my backyard Tomorrow I will walk her in an area where we should find some wild pheasants

    Thank you for the warm welcome! Just returned from a 6 days hunting trip. The red stag season just started in Romania and the show was fantastic in my first night (5 stags roaring near me). But the wolves started to chase them an now is no roar in my area. Waiting for cold weather...

    Hello, Is there any big game driven hunt in UK? If yes, how is this usually organized? I was in UK (Exeter area) for about 3 weeks and I have seen many wild animals on the fields (mostly roe deer and foxes). It seems that the agriculture occupies almost the entire land, leaving little room for wild vegetation (used as shelter from big animals)

    A good advice. @treefella don't waste time and money with military rifles for hunting. You could have a variety of bullets in .30-06 or .308 specially designed for hunting. And is no animal in Europe that could stand in front of the old .30-06, from foxes to bears
