David 9 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Had some woodcock myself the other day there a real nice tastey bird Quote Link to post
dicehorn 38 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Pigeon in the pan looked good - next time try add some grated ginger and a couple of squeezes of runny honey - will make you want to go out and shoot more pigeons !! PS squirrels are not at their best at this time of the year - best time is when the new shoots are growing - a diet change to new shoots puts flavour back into their meat.

SportingShooter 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Good stuff! Great just to head off for a few hours with the gun and a few Woodcock in the bag is a bargain. They look decent sized birds too. Good Shooting. Quote Link to post
