The one 8,397 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 We cleared a pond of them as they where getting the blame for pecking the heads of the ducklings and killing them but we just fed them to the ferrets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,414 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 They won't go to waste, but not expecting much taste wise when you look at what they eat. Saying that was surprised by gray squirrel tough but tasty. Mate of mine skinned gutted a fox once then put it threw a mincer said it stunk pretty bad then tried dogs and ferrets on it and neither would touch it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just like best quality smoked ham. I can't see that any meat would be necessarily bad for you but it depends on how old the animal is what cut and how you prepare and cook it. and it's Coot not Koot. they're classed as duck so must be similar. you'd probably eat it if you were hungry enough. softies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does the saying "as bald as a coot " relate to the bird ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
