My Mrs likes the 3 bird roast from Aldi. But for me, definitely not my kind of thing. 1 type of game meat, fine - if you like that kind of thing. - But mixing it - doesnt that kind of destroy the flavour?
?.
I have hunted/shot numerous types of game, even wood pigeon, but only for the pan. & they all have their distinctive taste. (no they dont all taste like chicken
)
I have spoken to a local game huntsman, because I worry about my birds being shot, (by him) & he has told me that he recognises my birds as domestic because they all fly & turn together, & circle the same area without breaking formation. + they are there virtually every day. So he doesnt target my birds. (very professional)
On the other hand though - everything else that moves is fair game.
Its not fair, but theres nothing that can be done. If its game, or considered a pest, then it can be hunted.
Im not totally against a lot of these hunting sports, eg. hare coursing - most hares are bred for the sport (cruel) but quite a number escape which adds to the wild population.
Fox hunting - fair enough, the fox is at the top of its food chain, & because it is so adaptable, we could soon be over-run with foxes if it wasnt for the hunters - but they should play fair, if the fox goes to ground, then the hunters should give in to defeat, (its got away) & not start digging up its earth & sending the terriers in.
Still very opinionated (& fair to all wild beasties)
