rabbit hunter Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Do any of you lads (and lasses if there are any) shoot or catch big numbers of game? What we usually call big numbers is Rabbits: 50+ Hares: 10+ Pigeon/geese/duck etc : 5+ I say 5+ for the birds because what would you do with 10 geese? My dad used to shoot until foot & mouth kicked in, that knocked him off. I dont shoot any more, just go for bunnies & hares. I am not getting at any of you for shooting 100 pigeon, just want to know what you do with them all? With rabbits, I take a few home, skin them, take heads off and feed to ferrets. The rest of the rabbits, Jeff & billy keep to mince up for dogs. Whenever we got more than 4 hares, I take one home to eat, jeff & billy then the whats left to eat, the livers & kidneys go to the dogs. anyway, i was ferreting on saturday, got 4 in an hour. Took 1 for ferrets. Let jeff keep the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I am what I consider fortunate as regards to using up game, I live at the top of an avenue full of OAP's bungalows whatever I cannot use they will have it's getting to the point now that when I come home after a day out shooting they are all waiting for me, I'm lucky if I get any for my own use. But I suppose their is worse situations to be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus Polumbus Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 You plannin your retirement Leon or can't you get on with your own age?? Personally all I shoot gets eaten either by myself an family / friends or as a last resort to the gamedealer no matter what the bag size, not that I'm into the numbers game.
