I can't find this thread mate.

I am just wondering if anyone has any plans for lures? I have looked at buying one and they are so expensive so would like to have a go at making one myself. Any help appreciated. JoeD

Someone I know sold a 50p piece for a £1 + postage and I remember someone selling a bag of air once as well.

Venison, pheasant, hare and rabbit, if I am lucky a bit of boar. Thats it with a bit of salt and pepper, a splash of red wine, and a good pastry Well when I do a game pie, I found the best tactic is to be simple. Never use pigeon and as said before I think partridge is too good for a mix! I use venison, pheasant, hare and rabbit and if I am lucky to get hold of some then some boar. I cook it like this. Melt some butter in a large frying pan/saucepan, add a few chopped shallots and season this with a couple of sprigs of rosemary and a few juniper berries, and just let this cook a bi

Don,t forget to prick the sloes,I freeze mine overnight,or pick after first frost,works just as well with damson's,prick each one down the side with a fork, You are spot on matey, I forgot to say, I freeze my sloes and then defrost them before using too I always seem to have better luck when they are still frozen.

I have been asked by the head of estates at my workplace if I could find someone to flush foxes to his gun, we have a lot of livestock and are having no luck with controlling the numbers of the foxes on the land, we are shooting a lot and nothing seems to dent the population. If anyone is interested them PM me. JoeD

So been making cider for a few years now...but this years apples are the best I have seen! Got so much cider not sure what to do with it so have added last years sloes into one batch, and blackberries into another, think it is going to be a good batch this year. Hows everyone elses cider coming on? JoeD

My other half (works in animal care) had to go on a dog law seminar and if a dog attacks a human your in the pooper but cats are technically classed as knowones property and you cannot in a court of law get prosecuted for killing a cat, via dog, gun, trap or any other method. But the second you tell anyone that your dog will get set on an animal then the people can say that they where threatened by your dog and that you have told them your dog can be dangerous. Stupid laws and all that.

My work has a disused orchard that they have given me permission to do as I please with and have thought about bees has anyone got and simple plans that I could borrow as I don't like buying if I can build myself.

Haha was helpful advice! and to everyone else, cheers I will get them lopped off then
