Hunting For The Table
IT got me thinking, as my hunting calendar usually operates around the stocking of my freezer and by January it is starting to get a bit low. As the summer heat in our neck of the woods is a bit harsh for any really lengthy hunting trips, we usually concentrate on night-time forays after small game such as rabbits and foxes. While the rabbits find their way into the freezer, the foxes are taken care of as payment for hunting access to a number of properties. I have to admit that I am not that keen on the old rabbit anymore but my two ‘Curlies’ love them.
Apart from the rabbits I spend quite a lot of time stocking up on my fish supplies for the coming winter months with Murray Cod, Yellow-belly, Redfin and trout all ending up filleted and stowed in the freezer. I know fishing really has nothing to do with hunting but certainly helps with self-reliance.
I grow a lot of my own vegetables, this year I have harvested beans,
