Amazing! Brits are allowed to use airguns for hunting and use nightscopes. New fact to me. Not allowed in Finland.

I've just noticed that there was a presentation given at the Bushcraft Symposium there was a presentation given titled 'Living of the Land in the Wilderness of central Europe". It might give added info although I accept Central Europe may not be your target.

Well, thats typical...

"We need to do something about the environment..."

Then.

"Too much wildlife!"

(Has anyone told the Garudian about Soay Sheep yet?)

They tried that in Holland. Don't think the results worked out well


Yep, you can't do half a rewilding project. There has to be 'top of the food chain' predators and, because they weren't prepared to cull (i.e. man acting as the predator), animals died of starvation and disease.

Other projects have been more successful - one in particular that sells pony meat :)
