    I reckon you'll find the decking is 120mm plus the gap. But, not to get pedantic about it, any size is makeable. An 8" box certainly woul be good for one ferret. See what everyone thinks before I dive into the workshop.jok.

    Well Terryd. As I mentioned previously, my wife's mum was full Greek. RIP. Any game dishes went with her approval. Now pigeon was No.1. Start with the whole bird, plucked and dressed properly. One generous sized onion, half a leek, pared carrot, (not too much), clove of garlic, virgin olive oil, black pepper and salt. The onion and leek should be lightly cooked in the oil for about 10 mins constantly moving them, add the garlic (crushed) and the carrot salt and pepper. Another 10 mins. The pigeon should be breast down, first one side then the other for at least 15 mins a side. Add a tin of Ita

    Navek. I reckon that box started life at 300mm square and was cut to accommodate the curve. For one ferret need it be so big? Jok.

    Northernlite. Must admit, did well on the weight problem. Comes in at 5kgs. Not too shabby. I'm liking the shaped poachers boxes and got an idea in mind.

    Oh how absurdably rude. And I for a moment thought you had gentlemanly conduct. Watch yourself Gaz he'll get you into bad habits lol. Now then serious. What plinking do you want. A day out, an evening, a weekend? Have a think pall and let me know on Friday. Socks could be welcome. I've a pub full of nutters he'd fit in with just fine.

    Just a thought. Muntjac. Derbyshire is a fairly big area and we do have a large amount of deer, but, since becoming the heart of The National Forest, deer have really gone for it. My mate had one last night. Without wanting to know where you are exactly, where are you?

    I have A granny in the Gurkhas. A springer which does what he likes. Three ferrets. An amazing number of friends who don't say too much. Welcome from Derbs.

    I'm sure I can manage one of these . Might still have enough sheet as well. See what happens. Is that something like WK.?

    Tb25 and socks. I never take offence lads and I know what you meant. It's worth mentioning that on the earlier post where the guy was looking for a box near Leeds, it was mentioned that there was no section for equipment so it seemed fairly prudent to mate the middle section 'the toolbox'. Anyhow, as long as the pot licker is pleased then that's all that counts. W. Ketchum (on here) has asked me about a single poachers box. Can you guys tell me what this is? Not sure whether Bowback or straight. Any pics would be good. ATB. Jok.

    Biggish then. You mentioned feeders. Is there any point in as much as is there shooting going on around you enabling you to try bringing their birds over? Birch suggests wettish ground. Any chance of creating a flight pond therefore not only attracting wetland birds but also helping the habitat for non game species. It was a very valid point made regarding making the wood 'warm'. Any of that scrub can be bunched up and semi laid as a wind break. Pheasants love it too for nesting.Then in the greater scheme, vermin control. I imagine as you've been given the wood perhaps it's not been used for a

    Pies

    jok replied to terryd's topic in Cooking On The Wild Side

    Trying something different. Pigeon breasts marinaded in olive oil, quince jelly, Moroccan dip salt and black pepper. When it's time for loading the pies I'm going to try layers (vertical) starting with the breast meat, avacado,breast meat etc. Now I know that with the quince and avacado it's going to be sweet but think I'll be ok. Thing is, with us not doing the rabbits now pigeon meat has to be used. Any other ideas you guys?

    Gaz_1989. When you collect the box, remind me about the Mk 1 finder.

    Woottonsheart. Can you elaborate on ' a double terrier box ' ? Reason being I've just made a double Bowback ferret box as can be seen on the DIY section of the forum. I'm on a run and need a new project. Jok.

    Brings back memories of Alan Bray, Hinckley guns, set on fire to help the b*****ds get what they wanted. Sad times.

    Devon flighter. Don't try to bend too much too quickly. Slowly, slowly catch a monkey. I tried doing it in one but it started creaking so decided to do it in 2 halves. Also it's worth a mention that I didn't only steam the middle, rather the whole board. The base is frame and has both an internal floor and an external base all done in the same ply. Sussex. Thank you. W. Ketchum. Hey up pal. As you've read this is a first. Generally I don't much bother with reward. If I have boards and spare timber in the workshop I just get on with it. Send me a pic or description of a poachers box and I'll

    Sorry for forgetting that I contacted you an age ago. The reason was, and I believe still is, a friend of mine (farmer) was into chicken production and sales. He soon found out that it isn't the gilded lily he thought and promptly gave it all up. Thing is these guys never chuck anything away so there's just a chance that his 2 incubators are still there. From memory they are for the hundreds of eggs and are auto rotate. Might be worth an ask.
