Back in the 60's when I had the racing whippets, a bloke used to come to the tracks selling big chunks of horsemeat. It has been scallded , something to do with the law. The dogs loved it and looked and raced well on it. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Saw This, and thought of this thread: " Badger hunting with burrowing dogs. 2020 Season " The shit beneath is actually says; " So we waited for the badger hunt. We start leaving at the very end of the season. when the badger gains weight and becomes especially valuable." Wonder where the value lies? Way he was prodding and pulling at it, in the end, makes it a bit tricky to guess, I thought? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 We tend to think of protected animals and birds as being forbidden food therefore not good . Young swan is very good ,kingfisher not so and badger ham was greasy but edible .Illegal supper 1990s . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
