I bagged one this weekend, in the freezer to be joined with more before I do a big stew. I think this one was looking for a mate, it looked like he hadn't had any for a while judging by the conkers in his trousers!
Squirrel
- Thread starter Barney
- Start date
He was on the ground, running about the pig wood I shoot on. He's the first squirrel I've seen in there since last summer I think! Chest shot him and he didn't get up. I've given up trying to head shot them, pellets bounce off their titanium craniums!
We bagged six rook branchers too, with another week or two before they are fully fledged I hope we can get some more. So more rook nuggets for a future meet hopefully!
Great idea. Unfortunately, chickens and cattle aren't 'cute fwuffy tings' what hang around city parks cheekily nibbling on the crumbs from your Maccy D burger bun... it's the old meat vs. animals mental disconnect that certain people have. Signal crayfish should join em on the national menu of course...
Look at the hassle Huge Furry Whittling Tool got for eating squirrels on A Cook on the Wild Side. He said something on the programme about the hypocrisy of meat eaters that complain about squirrels being eaten. He's all right is Huge, he talks a lot of sense.
ROFLMBO!!! that is a class rendition of his name!
also he does indeed speak alot of sense, so much so i have the dvd's and a book or two knocking about, good stuff and packed full of the most simple yet brilliant idea's.
