secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well folks seeing as today is the first day for a while that has not needed a realtree,wetsuit & a spear gun, I decided to pack the gear ant get the HW out. Got to the permission and got the gear out. Loaded the magazines and started down the track. A slow stalk meant I was able to get a rabbit with the first shot of the day... Went in the woods and heard the rustling of leaves above me. Following the noise I saw Tufty the tree rat. He got shot number two. Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Sorry my not so smart phone is not too good at uploading the photos.... Anyways spent the next couple of hours shower dodging and starting out on another stalk round a collared dove landed on the power lines. It got one in the head, dived off the power line straight into the largest bramble bush it could damn well find. Oh exclamation mark! A stalk around produced a kit, which did not like a smack in the head with a Crosman Premier and promptly went for a swim in a ditch! Nothing much else showed, so packed up and came back before the predicted deluge at 4pm! Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 By the way rabbit and squirrel stew tonight! Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Wow! Squirrel is nice! Very nice, completely different mouth feel. Rabbit is much firmer, squirrel falls apart, more oily, that is one nice meat. I declare war on the Tufty Club! 1 Quote Link to post

milegajo 595 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Cracking shooting Mole. Tuftys make for an interesting portion of protein. I normally have trouble describing it as it is quite unique. Yours is pretty accurate. I ate a female that had a distinctly nutty flavour, as you might expect, but not so with the many many others I've dined on. The skins are tough too. Great little creatures. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Miles the best description I have heard of is Duck crossed with Lamb, explains the mouth feel and taste quite well! Quote Link to post
milegajo 595 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Miles the best description I have heard of is Duck crossed with Lamb, explains the mouth feel and taste quite well! Aha! Thank you. Now I won't come across as a stuttering fool when next asked that question. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nice work Mike, looks a fair old size that bunny. It is hard to describe the taste of some meats, Squizzer is just best described as fecking lovely Tony Quote Link to post
