A Few Hours Ambushing

[chrismdd 787]

After a busy day today I needed to go and relax so went off to a little grass field where I had seen a few rabbits. This was a field for hay so some small ones would need to be culled as well but they would be used for ferret food and possibly as crow bait if I can get out tomorrow.

 

Got there at 6:30pm and walked down taking one adult on the way there. Set up behind a grassy mound although not ideal due to the wind direction but would give me a nice length of hedge to cover.

 

 

Strangely the adults were the first to come out and I bagged a few before taking any youngsters. After the glorious weather earlier today it was a bit unfortunate to end up being hit by a number of blustery showers. So the S410 will need a wipe down when I get back.

 

 

Stayed until the light faded and finished with nine of various sizes.

Young ones were for the ferrets except for one I used as corvid bait yesterday but that was a fail.

 

The best of the bigger ones get salted overnight, then the meat is taken off the bone and diced up and then it is being marinated in a curry sauce ready for a curry on Tuesday night.

You just leave them in salt water then? 24 hours like...

Yes just 24 hours in salted water, making sure I've removed the scent glands from the rear legs. Some people I've heard soak them in milk but I've yet to try that, seems a bit of a waste of milk. Tikka Masala curry was bootiful tonight, so may try a tandoori next time.
