Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 " Giblet " You doughnut! Yeah. I used to have one ~ discreetly veiled by trees ~ for my own personal satisfaction. They just get unsightly. I hung my first Hoodie on my top gate here. But then I thought about the poor bloody Postman and so forth ..... Now I just chuck shit into my compost bin. Not really a thing ye should start up without ye guvvnors express permission / request, mate. Especially these days. " Giblet " Quote Link to post

" Giblet " Little Lloyd,...you really are a right fecking Gibblet And fairly typical of today's' 'intake'....No offence matey,..just having the craic with ya Darn Sarf, on most of the large estates that I helped to control the roosting pheasants on,..most keepers had to run a gibbet...I was once on a big place and just having a quiet mouch when the keeper stepped out from behind a large oak . He stepped onto the footpath and stood right in front of me,.blocking my way. Back then,..as Ditch-Shitter will no doubt affirm,...we always came 'dressed for the part'.. It was no damn use saying,.'Oh, I'm just out for a country stroll Guv',... Especially when clad in a long tweedy coat,..the lining cut at breast level on both sides to accept a pheasant or four :whistle: The outfit was frequently finished off with the obligatory gold earring and gypsy dickler,..feck me,.we didn't look 'guilty ' in them days now did we... My and the fellah were just about to fall out when a Rolls Royce pulled up on the main drive. The Boss wound down his window and for all to hear he said,.."Bailey ,you lazy begger,....the woods are teeming with b*****d jays,..and we have just nearly run over a damn great stoat If you can't do your job man,.I'll bloody well get someone who can".... The car pulled quickly away,...and so did I... As I walked on,..,I thought,....'Feck being a Gamekeeper,...I'm glad that I am free'.... However,.it just goes to show you how much importance was once placed upon 'vermin control'... In them days few men owned a high powered rifle and most foxes were 'wired',.or gin trapped... And a man that didnt have a plump and juicy 'Gibblet line' ..was up the road,.smartish... All the best to all keen hunting men,..whatever side of the fence you walk,...cheers,.CHALKWARREN Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 We still have "giblet" lines around here with corvids mainly, although one farm we hunted this year had a huge number of fox carcases on display in a small copse. "Giblet lines" Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 We used to have "giblets"on gibbets all round the woods ,paid accordingly too .No matter which way the wind blew ,you could smell them . Pics been on before but its the only one I have . Only thing we were told not to hang was cats ,only because the head keeper knew for a fact it was only a matter of time before the one from the house appeared ,strung up with bulging eyes . :whistle: Quote Link to post
