Dibble Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi hope someone can help, I've posted this before but am getting a bit worried now! It's next Friday! My sons Explorer Scout group are running a "Survival and Hammock camping night" and I have volunteered to help. We are planning to do Breasting and Kebabing Pigeon on the Friday night and Rabbit Casserole on the Saturday. This is a brilliant opportunity to show 25 Townie (Croydon) Teenagers where food comes from and Shootings part in it, I am also going to explain pest management to them. Shooting Egg and Bumpy22 have kindly offered to help supply Pigeon but they are both in Somerset and I can't find an excuse to go down there for work. I've put up notices at local clay grounds and had a reply but he hasn't had any luck on his last 2 outings. I've been put in touch with a butcher for the rabbits but this is looking shakey as well, might have to go for squirrel instead. I have phoned BASC to see if they can help both me and my son are members............I'm not going to have a go in public but if anyone from BASC wishes to contact me feel free.....preferably offering me some pigeon! Can anyone help I need around 15 (1 between 2?) Un processed Pigeon to breast I will come and pick up this week, I live in South London and will travel a couple of hours each way if necessary.

JTaylor91 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 If anybody near me (DN17) has any I have some wool insulation @Teal uses to send his lamb packed with cold packs. I would be happy to pack them up and send via parcelforce. I would try get out this week but the birds aren’t playing ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also like to get stuff for free it means we don't have to charge much for membership or events and makes us more inclusive to use a buzz word. What this really means is membership of my Scout group is 10 pounds a month for around 6 hours of activities, if you can't afford it we don't charge for anything including camps. Bear in mind around 60% of subs go on insurance. Edited March 14, 2020 by Dibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Give 'em a few squirrels as well. Supposed to be really good eating. Pity your far away from me or I could find you a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity your far away from me or I could find you a dozen. I've got two types attending the lot sleeping over are a bit more robust so I might get them a few squirrels to cook on a spit. The Friday only lot will struggle with anything too cute and fluffy hence just breasting pigeon with them. Skinning a squirrel is quite difficult they don't "peal" like a rabbit there will be a bit of a tug-of-war to skin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it is a great success and more grease to your elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) @Dibble I run a day each year for basc southwest, do you want me to contact them and ask them to give your area (where are you based) a bit of a nudge.. Last event I ran with them showed the guns how to pluck and breast pheasant and partridge and also prep the whole bird. PM me if you like. Cheers Edited March 15, 2020 by ShootingEgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
