marsh man Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 hi morty I put the number of curlew on the site to let the fowlers know who are keen to try and get them back on the list , when they took them off it was because numbers were low and as you can see we have a lot round here I for one would not want to shoot them no more as there are a lot better things to eat than curlew I used to put a onion inside them and it had more flavour than the curlew had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
