FalconFN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 :blink: How did you fit them in your suitcase? Sorry, I'm ignorant when it comes to shooting in different countries, is this pure sport or is there a need to control these animals?

Non of the meat goes wasted and I don't believe in just shooting to kill for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non of the meat goes wasted and I don't believe in just shooting to kill for no reason. That's good to know - if you're thinking with your stomach when hunting and have a valid reason for the cull, I'd say that puts you on safe moral ground. Fine looking beasts; makes me hungry thinking what could be done with them Duncan Ps - tiny bit Jealous!!!

I wish it was as easy to gain permission to hunt or do crop protection here as it is back home. What a struggle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) You can't beat a good bit of biltong.... I make my own from beef but it's nothing to the real stuff. Edited February 27, 2011 by FalconFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Thats the way to go. I made some with Sika and Roe deer I've shot and it was great. A mate and I made 22 Kg off Boerewors on Friday to see us through the summer.

highseas Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 did you use a .22 to shoot the bottom one :blink: that mag and bolt looks small otherwise good shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Shooter Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 did you use a .22 to shoot the bottom one :blink: that mag and bolt looks small otherwise good shooting Well spotted... Yes the brno .22 is a very common little rifle in SA. If you know your gun and shot placement you can take down medium sized game with ease. That one went strait through the computer.....

Stealth Stalker Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Here goes of the top of me ead! Shoot pigeons Breast off pigeons Cut length ways 3 or 4 slices about the width of your little finger (fat blokes adjust accordingly) Arrange in a tray & marinade in malt vinegar (just enough to coat all the pigeon) Springle your choice of biltong spice over the pigeon & work it all in Pop in the fridge for an hour Springle a bit more spice over pigeon & work in Repeat til the pigeon is nicely coated ( I did this for about 3 hours) Pop in your biltong maker for 2 to 3 days Slice thinly the strips Pour a cold beer then enjoy! Delicious P.S Type in to google make your own biltong maker, its a piece of wee wee & well worth doing. Sorry to derail your thread SA shooter, but these heathens need educating! Nice shooting by the way SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
