I have many many Barnacle Geese that seem to be spending the winter on my local estuary. Is it OK to shoot and eat these or are they a protected species?

I just watched the Mark Gilchrist video, it is brilliant. Thanks for the tip!

Ive just shot a couple of rabbits and they were both carrying young. I'm not sure if I was shooting at a bad time of year or whether I was just unlucky. Is there a time of year to avoid shooting rabbits? Is there a specific time of year when they have their young or does it just happen all year round?

How much salt to water should I use? 1 tbsp per litre perhaps? I just shot a couple and they have severe bruising by the shoulder, so will definitely give the salt water soak a go and see if it works.

I have been reading loads of Rabbit recipes online. Lots of them recommend soaking the rabbit in saltwater overnight before cooking. Does anyone know why this is? Is it necessary? What mixture of salt and water should I use? Should the soaking occur before freezing or after defrosting a rabbit? Thanks for your help!
