A day out hunting. (Viewer discretion advised)

[Jonbodthethird]

Went out for a couple of hours on our permission and got a few creatures for the pot.
Made a curry out of the rabbits not sure what to do with the pigeon. Never had it before. Other then a pie?!!!

Very nice. I was out this past weekend squirrel hunting, but couldn't see a single one.

No idea what to do with the pigeon but I'm envious; I've got a few weeks yet before season opens here.

Pigeon, stilton and broccoli soup is very nice

Pigeon breast is the bomb!

I like to caramalise red onions in a pan with a little oil, when their are soft and browned but not thrashed a big splosh of good Port and reduce untill thick! Then serve with the breast.

I had a laod of reindeer last christmas and I did the same thing then and it was superb!

Nice! Potentially stupid question: Are those air rifles or firearms? And what will you do with the crows?

 

[Goatboy]

Nice haul Jon and a sweet pair of pre-charged air rifles. Wanted a Logon myself, but there was a long wait at the time. Bought a BSA Super 10 carbine instead which is lovely too. You have a good day?, open ground or woodland?

It must be an age thing but these days I prefer to shoot paper.

Don't think it's an age thing, it's just a personal thing. No shame in that or shooting all your meat.

Pan fry the pigeon breasts.

They go lovely with fried oyster mushrooms in the same pan too.

Pan fry the pigeon breasts.

Keep them nice and rare though, nothing worse than well done pigeon

Very true they go all tough when they are well done, pinky-red in the middle is just right.

 

[CLEM]

Wood pigeon breasts are really delish, pan fried with a bit of onion and garlic. Smashing

 

[HHazeldean]

That looks like a decent day was had, they look good. What're you going to do with the crows?

 

[Samon]

May I ask a favour, Jon? Could I have the crows heads, feet and large flight feathers please? I will cover postage of course!

You can eat crow, I haven't before but I've never shot a clean one so.. go for it! let us know what it's like!

Unless soaked in wine and slowly braised, the whole bird that is.

We usually eat what we kill on our permissions we are inundated with crows probably about a few hundred. And he keeps livestock and we found a few baby lambs this year dead so we have been told to cull what we can. And yes both air rifles mines the s300 and re8eldog has the s16s.
