    I normally serve them with a crispy leek & cheese bake. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/252852-pigeon-breast/?do=findComment&comment=2735228 TC

    This to me is the best way of eating pigeon, garlic stuffing and medium rare. MMMMelts in the mouth! TC

    Out of interest how do the moles get killed in these barrel traps? TC

    I have always hunted for the pot. That is not to say I would not do pest control of non edible species when the chance arose. My main motivation was providing by hunting, I suspect that a lot of people would say the same. Hunting just to kill something has never been my bag so to speak, I am not condemning it, just saying what my motivation always will be. Of course pest control does come in to it, but being candid that is not a motive for me, never has been and never will be. If I think that I have reduced the numbers enough in an area thats it, breaks on till next year. Nine times out of

    I agree with you there Terry, tried pigeon in a game casserole years ago everything else was falling to bits bar the pigeon. TC

    I can give you a recipe for what it's worth, I am a make it up as you go along type of cook so have no set recipe's as such. Sometimes they come out great, others, well least said the better I think. This is my adaptation of a slow cooker recipe of bacon and liver casserole I have just substituted the duck for the liver. You can add what ever you like, I just used 1 leek 2 onions 4 large mushrooms two smoked bacon chops cut in to lardons and the 4 wild duck breasts. I put the chopped leeks, onions and mushrooms in to the slow cooker, fry the bacon lardons until they are crisp add to th

    Did not have the time yesterday to do the ducks, but managed it today. When i came do do them a couple were a bit heavy in the shot department, so I breasted them all. I decided to braise them in the slow cooker as I had never tried them like that before The recipe I used was one that I used for braised liver last week just substituting the duck for liver. The ingredients, the mushrooms are missing as I only put them in as an after thought. After chopping the bacon into lardons I fried them till they were crisp, then floured the sliced duck breast fried them till they were browned and

    If Widgeon have been on the zostra it can be a bit hit or miss, once they get on the frosted grass they are superb. My favourite has to be Teal for consistency of flavour. TC

    You do not seem to able to grasp what I was implying, so I will spell it out for you. The reason they have to travel further and further is because they decimate the rabbits in ever increasing circles from their base. How long before they play out the ground they are on and move to look for the next Eldarado to rape? Fair play they have good dogs and they should know that, so why do they keep having to prove it? In my mind, that goes to prove that their ego's come before anything else. Instead of managing the resources they have they just want to catch as many as possible and feck the cons

    Surely it's about testing man and dog? Pushing that bit further. Plus when you're travelling 3-4 hours plus (each way) why aren't you going to make the most of it? A good feat without a doubt, but ever wonder why they have to travel so far? How long before it's 6 hrs or more travelling? Rabbits are not an infinite resource. A hard winter, vhd, mixie all take their toll. Remember Malham, used to be good. TC

    That does not work like that. The weaker the concentration gets the more water you need to add. 100ml reduces it by 1% but to reduce it by a further 1% you need to add another 150ml of water. Then to reduce it another 1% you need to add a further 250ml. So to change 500ml of 6% to 5% you add 100ml. The sum then changes to 600ml of 5% you now have to add 150ml to make it 4%. The sum now changes again to 750ml of 4% to which you have to add 250ml to make it 1ltr of 3% which is the same as adding 500ml to the 6% mixture. TC

    This time of year and with the temperatures we are getting in the days not long two days max. They are hanging in the shed now but will be cleaned tomorrow and straight in the fridge. I will breast the Widgeon and pluck the pintail, although the pintails are youngsters so if there are too many stubs of feathers I will skin them and cover them in bacon when I roast them Sunday. TC

    Pegs do vary in the time they last, I suppose it is down to if there is a fault in the wood? I still have some unused pegs that I cut 20 years ago, they are a lot darker but still sound. TC

    That is what it is all about, you want a rabbit so you just go and get one.

    there still about matey.. in various disguises and scattered all over the country... trouble is..with the trends leaning towards micro and all the other tiny lines of breeds over the last few years the good old long hobs have been pushed out of popularity..everyone wanted little tiny pocket size ferts.. I cleared out all my shite a few seasons ago and got back to basics with a bunch of new stock selected from all over the country.. out went the tiny and in came the grafters of old lines and proven working stock etc etc. . no shirkers were kept and i was quite brutal in my selections of on

    Just goes to prove there are dog men, and men with dogs. Funny how the dog men always have the best dogs. TC

    It really amuses me, people who spout about collie crosses without ever owning one. Most crosses will, if entered correctly, do most jobs. I honestly think that some do not like the collie cross because the dog is more intelligent than them. I love them, I admire their sagacity, the way they can adapt themselves to almost any hunting situation, they are to me what a good hunting partner should be. TC

    Litigation, litigation, litigation oh did I say litigation. As simple as. If it were not for the numpties making a claim for anything and getting away with it, we would be fine. TC

    All driven by the insurance companies I am afraid, "You were warned so cannot claim." TC

    Anyone who refuses a kind gesture like that needs their head seeing too. TC

    It is not just this site but all over the internet, they make closed groups on FB and think that protects them??? I remember when I was a mod on another hunting site having a series of run-ins with a poster about photo's that would incriminate him. So he posted a photo, and I shit you not, of a shot and retrieved munty with an air-rifle laying by the side of it. You could not make that up. TC
