Plenty of free, wholesome meat to be had without going to the supermarket;

Those are from just over the border, but the fields between my house and my allotments used to be the Duke of Northumberland’s partridge shoot many years ago and there still a few coveys of both types around.

Cheers.

Love hearing anecdotes of the days greys were still dominant. Such a loss to the English countryside.

I’ve read a bit about Sir Joseph Nickersons famous grey partridge manor, the Rothwell estate, and his record day. What an amazing bit of history.

I haven't seen a covey of grey partridge for maybe 20 years. They are a great loss. Every field used to hold a covey.

357, the venison you bought may have been an old stag as Born says, or, alternatively, an old farmed hind which was sneaked into a supermarket consignment? Young venison shouldn't take any chewing!

The trouble with all this living off the land lark is that it is very time consuming and laborious. By the time you have butchered or plucked your meat, you could have popped down to the supermarket 10000 times over. Not to mention the ticks, physical effort and tiredness in preparing your natural grub.

But I'm only jesting really.  Can't beat Nature's cupboard. I love it.
