The Month of December
- Thread starter Emdiesse
- Start date
mushrooms are everwhere, snow brews, quinzes, loads of deer (round here they seem too tired to leg it after the rut), game season is up and running so go get dinner, badger watching - thats the outside stuff.
Inside stuff - roaring fire, whittling, reading up on what to look for in spring

Some nice suggestions here, perhaps I should also put some due care and attention into looking for 12 drummers drumming, 11 pipers piping, 10 lords-a-leaping, 9 ladies dancing, 8 maids-a-milking, 7 swans-a-swimming, 6 geese-a-laying, 5 gold rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree?
However, is December really quite an empty month in terms of things to do and look out for in the wilderness

You could always go out and make a Christmas wreath.
Just like uncle ray did in one of his programs

whatever the month, I have rabbit control on a couple of permissions,and of course, theres always the odd pheasant or partridge,canadian goose, have some sloe's and damsons in the freezer that I really need to get into some booze, vodka,whiskey?, another trip out crayfishing is definatly on the cards before the end of the year, and Id like to get into mushroom foraging, but have no idea on that matter, so don't want to poison myself
A christmas wreath, that sounds a nice pleasant thing to do.
I'll definitely take a camera out, see if I can scout out and photograph some mushrooms that hopefully I will be able to later identify them from using a book. I'll keep my eye out for deer on my travels.
Crayfishing sounds great, would love a nice tasty Crayfish and Rocket salad. I understand you need to apply for permission to catch crayfish or am I incorrect. I have a trap, but no permission. I guess they do this to crack down on those not being able to tell the difference between the native and non-native species?

Got to go find a yule log to burn. Wander around until you find a log that "calls" to you.
Well, that's my excuse for having to go out into the woodlands so much!
