this is another from the same month , i had quite a few rats that year it was just after a bad dose of dixi
-
i had two rats tails in the traps this morning , the traps were set for rabbits but the rats had moved in , funny enough i was talking about this yesterday , imbra and juby traps seem to toss the rat through jaws and catch them by the tail whitch they then bite off , i never got a picture this morning so here is one i took a couple of years ago
-
Nice to see something different mate ,how do you catch the turtles and how do you cook them.?
-
Thats a lot of traps , what do you set them for rats , rabbits , squirrels ? put some pictures up as you seem to have more fire power than the lads on the western front.

very nice bitch ,a good companion whether snaring ,ferreting or shooting.

Most people who shoot seem to skin their birds now days , i never do ,i prefer to pluck as you get a lot more from a bird ,years ago a pheasant would feed a family of four and the bones,gibblets and neck form the basis of a stew , i get a lot of birds nowdays and my wife makes roasts ,terrines, pate , and consomme does anyone else use the entire carcass .

Tripped a couple up on the headland and as i was walking back a rabbit jumped out of a tussock straight into the bitches mouth ,she dropped it instantly and laid down, if i have a rabbit in a snare or trap she jst lies down in front of them till i have dealt with them then gets up and has a sniff.

exactly the same mate. If they have been dead for some time start at the crop and work slowly down the breast and don'tpull to many feathers off at a time then then the rest is easy

i like to freeze at this time of the year, the young birds are plump with plenty of fat and are very good roasted.

they had a shoot on the land next to where i set snares for rabbits , this morning the dog picked one up in the kale and i had anotherone in a fence wire , both had been pricked .

Mam always dry salted the shallots and left them dairy cheese room [cold and dark] for two days, they were then put into two one gallon pickle jars . The previous years pickling liquor was used to boil the boxing day gammon and also used it to make a tomato sauce which we had on our Saturday herrings

Not the best weather for snaring but i got lucky and pulled a couple up.

i have had half a dozen wires i n a field at the rear of my neighbours house , they were set around some reed beds at the bottom of a large bank, when i got to the field my dog put a rabbit out of the hedge which took of for home, it was running straight at the snares and sure enough it got pulled up with a jerk ,it was still squealing as i walked up but when i got there there was no sign of a rabbit and the snare was pulled tight, the dog worked the reed bed and put two rabbits up which ran into the bank , mystery or what
