Stealth Stalker Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Had a day with the keepers drey poking yesterday, awesome sport and great fun apart from my aching neck, shoulders and back We were 'a poking' with aluminium drey poles all 50ft of em and believe me after 2 or 3 dreys I was feeling it :blink: We done 1 small wood which accounted for all of these tree rats, there's another 6 big woods to go :o . If you ever get the chance give it a go 45 plus 2 babies, all were gutted ready for inclusion on the menu of the Foragers Arms where we had the PW butchery night, they have a mouthwatering squizzer starter planned SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Looks like you got a great bag there. May seem a daft question, why are they all gutted ? I usually leave mine for charlie or take few to lay out for crows. Great bag, well done. I usually do it on my own without poles, great work and sounds like hard work. Schmoo.

Would have loved to been out with you with my semi auto. I would have put up with aches an pains the next day if i had the pleasure of helping shooting that lot. Very well done mate :good: DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southeastpete Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 out of interest, why poke them? sometimes in must be a right pain getting those long poles round other branches. why not just put a shell into the drey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawny / Littls Owl also nest in abandoned dreys - you should always poke 'em to make sure it's squirrels in residence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 squirrel is delicious, a light tender meat which is very palatable to those not used to strong gamey meats. give it a go, you won't be disappointed. i tend to poach them whole, then pick off the meat as it's a bit fiddly and bone ridden otherwise.

TaxiDriver Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Blimey, If everyone could knock out the greys at that rate, We could clear the UK for our native reds to re establish themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
