Recommended Posts

After meeting with the Pub, Colin Lad and Stealth Stalker last night here's the proposal...

 

It will have to be a Monday night, as this fits in with Colin and the venue, sorry if that rules it out for some people.

Possible dates are in the poll above - our general thinking was that the 12th of September will be the best, as harvest will be well under-way, thus allowing easier shooting of Muntjac, rabbit etc.

 

The venue is The Verulam Arms, 41 Lower Dagnall St, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL3 4QE

Format for the evening (timings are estimates)....

Arrive whenever...

7.00pm - Colin will demonstrate the Butcher's method of preparing a deer carcass, using professional tools, shop style cuts etc.

7.45pm - He will then demonstrate how to joint up a deer carcass using only a stalker's knife (no saws, cleavers etc.)

8.30pm - We will have a meal of Venison accompanied with Roast potatoes and vegetables.

9.30pm - Colin will demonstrate his way of rabbit preparation, followed by a competition to see who can produce the most presentable and least wasteful cuts.

10.00pm - Close - Drinking or go home!

 

It should cost about £5 each (this does not include booze though!)

 

We ideally need 3 Muntjac (two for the demo and 1 to pre-prep some food), and some rabbits.

Anyone who can supply some of the above please shout - SS and I will do our best!

 

I need to know who's definitely up for it, and what dates suit.

thanks

NB

Now I might have to have a word on this and check one is available for purchase but I am stalking on the weekend of 13/14 August so might have the potential to provide a fallow for it. However I wouldn't want it hung till the 22nd but if you fancied adding the 15th then that would work for me. Alternatively I guess I might be able to fingers crossed gain a muntjac before one of the other dates,

GB I'd like to see the stress involved if you guaranteed a roe :lol:

Nick, Terry (Bakerboy) is away at the moment but I know he was really up for this, if you could pencil him in until he gets back early next week to confirm that would be very kind!

Any of those, Mondays tend to be free.

I would suggest limiting it to the first 20 fiver's received Nick, I know it's a pain collecting money but it shows some level of commitment.

If needed I will have go for a Roe or Munty the weekend before, but I wouldn't be so bold as to say I can shoot them on demand ;)

Maybe I could take SS the 'deer magnet' along to up the chances...
