We got to the farm and he explained he had a lame ewe in a little valley behind the farm that its now dead. Well the wind was all wrong so took us a while to skirt around the valley and come in from the back. As we came over the rise and shone the lamp down to where the dead ewe was there were five sets of eyes. I whispered it's foxes where as the other two lads said dogs. I said I'll give them a squeak see what happens. As soon a I called they started to come trouble was there was some dead ground and a bank between us and them. We didn't know where or what side they would pop up from but one by one they did we had four foxes and no idea what happened to the fifth one. I always though it was a litter that had learnt to hunt together. It the only time I've ever known a group of foxes to hunt together. Although we did bolt four from one smallish earth in a hedge up on Dartmoor one day. Cheers Arry Edited February 11 by Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,853 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I've only ever eaten goat once but it was absolutely delicious! It was last year in a Caribbean restaurant in Exeter. My favourite meat had previously been wild boar but that curry was enough to make me change my mind. As others have said, no idea why it's not sold more readily in supermarkets. I'm sure I read somewhere that it's the most popular meat worldwide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
