Dunkield Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Do you know when they were killed? The butcher may have hung them for a while already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 clean them now, on the basis that its Friday and an awful lot of shoots shoot Saturday its a fair assumption they've already hung for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
