"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Re: Squirrel
Yes. I don't like killing for the sake of killing. So eating them and getting the hide is a definite plus if I ever had to kill any.
At the moment, there's only Reds here and they're definitely off the the menu.

Re: Squirrel
The last reds we saw were in Denmark and Andorra, it must be 40 years since I saw them in the UK. I did spot some Blacks earlier this year at Barton Road.

Re: Squirrel
I did not ask for your memoirs, I asked if you would eat a squirrel?

Re: Squirrel
Thank you. Yes I would, they had a thing on R4 years ago about eating them, chopped into big bits, covered in seasoned flour and deep fried. I have always wanted to try some ever since.christel wrote:I did not ask for your memoirs, I asked if you would eat a squirrel?

Re: Squirrel
What is it like to eat? I can think of, and have eaten worse. Oddest was pigs cheeks in Mondragon (Basque region of Spain)

Re: Squirrel
Wot, squirrel? No idea. Ate pig trotters when small...a bit fatty and small bits of ham, surprisingly.

Re: Squirrel
Squirrel is very tasty to eat, a lot of folks over here hunt and eat them. As stated chopped up and rolled in season flour and deep fried. As to how they taste, well I'd say they taste like pork though a wee bit sweeter. I've also had squirrel stew, very tasty indeed. Forget about them being tree rats or sweet little furry critters. Squirrel is good to eat.
