First proper session for a while

Lovely evening (aren't they all recently) so thought a nice couple of hours up the copse. Amazed at the growth of the nettles so had to choose a spot where anything shot could be retrieved. Only fired three shots but came away with a couple of woodies and a squirrel. That's lunch sorted for me and the ferrets tomorrow.

Found some more pigeon breasts in the freezer so did a whole lunch for a family of four. Lightly fried pigeon breast on fresh toast with fried mushrooms, peppers, onions and tomatoes. All plates were cleared so obviously  a success with the boys. The ferrets got the rest of the pigeon carcasses as well as the squirrel. I must have a go at trying squirrel one day.

Squirrels are great to eat , depends on what they have been feeding on . If they feed on hazel and chestnut , the they have a taste of lamb and duck . My mates keep asking if I have any squirrels they can have , at first they turned there noises up at the thought , but now they love it

Yep, we always fry the squirrels.

               Jackets off and straight in the frying pan, American style, delicious !

 

 

By the way, excellent shooting Chris

Yes, when people ask me what they taste like I tell them that they taste a bit like lamb, and they always seem surprised. Being bothered to skin and prep them is the biggest hurdle for me, but I reckon they make great eating
