Hunting

As you get older you'll all take up hunting. Put something down and you instantly forget what it was, where you left it and what you were going to do with it. As for hunting with horses and dogs, I'd never get them all in our front room when I lose my car keys.


You've done it again......grinning insanely here now.....you make me laugh....cheers bud:D:D(y)
 
i hunt slugs on a regular basis, armed with my trowel for

  1. picking the vile things up with.
  2. chopping them in half on the inside of my green bin lid.
they don't stand a chance but i feel no remorse.


*note... i have absolutely no intention of eating my kill.
 
I would like to ask what people thought about hunting. In my opinion it is a great sport that allows you to get in to nature and dinner at the same time. Even if you don't get anything it is a great day out, I think their would be less violence if men were allowed to express themselves in this manner in a natural way.

What do you hunt and what weapons do you use ?
 

Sitting in a tree stand, garbed in camouflage, sprinkling bait and squirting fake urine around to get a deer to wander up then shoot it anonymously.

What's the point in that?

I don't understand hunting one bit - I understand the natural aspects but can't grasp the need to kill something at the end to feel successful. Isn't a long walkabout in the deep woods enjoyable enough?

I have tons more respect for these hunters - people who trek deep into the wilderness, set up camp and defilade, and "hunt" snow leopards to record the first video of a snow leopard hunting in its natural environment. If you haven't seen the "Planet Earth" series (think it is a BBC production), get it yesterday. Not only great video all around, it'll make you rethink the necessity of shooting a caribou with your .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle when you learned it treks 3000 miles every year just to keep on living when you can pick up the phone and probably have a caribou pizza delivered.

Since I'm rambling - caribou on pizza? Yes or no and if yes, please explain your vile self.

Saw that programe a while ago, and the rest of the series. Never thought of the camera crew as hunters but you're right, they are. They do everything a hunter would do except kill.

As for caribou on pizza, would you put pineapple on that?

Recipe for Caribou Chili

4 pounds Caribou, chunked preferred or ground
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 teaspoons Cumin
1 cup Red wine, beef broth or beer
6 teaspoons Chili powder
1 1/2 cup Canned tomatoes and juice or small can tomato paste
2 teaspoons Liquid hot pepper sauce
OR
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt to taste


Directions:

Place meat, onion and garlic in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven.
Cook until light colored.
Add oregano, cumin, water, chili powder, tomatoes, hot pepper sauce
(more or less to taste),
and salt. Bring to a boil, lowering heat, and simmer for one hour.
Optionally, the sauce may be thickened with a little (1-2 tb.) Masa or Corn meal.
If possible, allow chili to cool and sit for at least 6 hours before
re-heating and serving.

It always tastes better the second day.

Unfortunately the Aldi had run out of Caribou...so had to make do with manky beef

Never ever. Pizza's for veggies and meat like things. Would you put orange on pizza? Didn't think so - no need for pineapple neither.

Out of curiosity, how does Aldi rate in England? I know it's a German chain and is spotting up here in the States but here it has a reputation of being more of a cost-conscious, lower end grocery. I've never been in one (my wife hits one by our place occasionally) so I'm curious to see how it rates with the rest of GOT.
 
From what I remember of Aldi.......they were the ones who, in the midst of the baked bean price war, would give customers 2 cans for free.

Uber cheap place. I remember the quality being pretty terrible too.
