The Essex Hunter Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 With a shooting friend back from uni I had planed a trip on some ground we don't shoot often. Just as I was setting off my phone was buzzing on the dashboard with his number flashing, so I pulled up and have a chat, it is always good to speak to him and with him traveling to Essex in the morning the pressure was on.... His first port of call is to RB's and with a tally of 3, I was up to beat that...!! After each one fell I sent him a message with the last reply saying ! "my van is not that big". They are sent away for testing of Trichinella plus other tests. A tally of nine since Friday, I have posted these to high light what is done to keep a check on any areas with potential problems.

wymberley Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nice one. Some years back I worked for the central Science Laboratory carrying out the RTA badger carcass survey. As an 'also ran' I also had to collect the shot foxes for the trichinella test. At the time the last reported case was in Cornwall in 1955. Do we still remain clear do you know?

Underdog Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Being the above average fool and no shrinking violet, what is trichinella? Also how is it pronounced? U :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 What's "Call from the DEFRA man" mean? So many questions lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 What's "Call from the DEFRA man" mean? I suspect it might just be that the man called to say he was collecting in the area and will you have any carcasses. "I think we're going to need a bigger boat van!"
