Do you eat what you shoot?

[LauBen 9]

Hello,

 

I was just wondering how many of us eat what we shoot?

 

I have to admit that on the whole I do try and eat (cooked first of course ) what I have just taken in the field as long as the prey is healthy and safe to eat and I was wondering if I was in the minority or not.

theres no way i could eat all i shoot or catch, so surplus goes to the game dealer.

Pigeon is nice, not a lot to it but worth a try.

Rabbits, squirrels, pigeons, yes. Magpies and rats, no!

[pro extreme hunter 10]

pigeons ,doves ,waterfowls , pheasants , partridges ,all kinds of deer and mountain-goat yes and crows and pigs no.

I put no as I take mine game to the butcher and either have the money or the equall value in meat..... normally steaks and porkpie and scratchings !

i personally only shoot rabbit to be ate by us or the dog no birds.

I hate wasting anything,, what I don`t eat the ferrets or dogs get.

I keep some for my self and give the rest to the old folk around my way they love rabbit atvbmac

I only take enough Rabbits for my self and a couple of OAP friends near me, so tend not to overshoot, but pigeons with the shotgun thats a different matter, but none get wasted: Dave

I only shoot rabbits at he moment and eat them fresh the next day or freeze them if to many, but I would starve if they were the only food available.

To be honest. No, not really!

If I shoot just one or two rabbits I use them as bait for magpies and crows. But now, when I get a decent bag, I give it away to an old folk's home near me where they have cooks who deals with the meals. I've been doing it since the summer and it's good to do for them and they love a bit of fresh rabbit and woodpigeon with veg. Especially a good pie from it.

 

Edit to add. I do love a good rabbit curry though! Marksman and theflashingblade here make some delicious curries with rabbit.
