Before you read any further I feel that I should make you aware that this post is about my first deer stalking experience and there are photos that some people may not like.

Goose Breast Stir Fry
It’s Wednesday, Happy Hump Day…or whatever that means. For me it means that I’m now off work till Monday, I’m off to the shooting range tomorrow and my deer stalk on Saturday.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander….or so I thought.
A couple of days ago a friend of mine was out wildfowling on the foreshores of Edinburgh where he shot some geese and wigeon. He was kind enough to give me one of each as I had never eaten either of them before and I am always keen to try something new. I pull upContinue reading “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander….or so I thought.”
Run Rabbit Run Rabbit Run Run Run….
So it’s the start of February and everyone is banging on about the Beast from the East, not me though as I find myself in awe at the selection of game meat available to buy at the Stockbridge Farmers Market in Edinburgh. If you ever visit Edinburgh then I highly recommend you visit this excellentContinue reading “Run Rabbit Run Rabbit Run Run Run….”
Brace Yourselves…..
It all started with a simple text message to friend: Me: Hey man, can you get me any game? Friend: Sure, what do you want? Me: Pheasant or Venison… Friend: I’ll bring some pheasants for you ……………… Flashforward to 36 hours later and my friend is at my house with 15 to 20 pheasants, completeContinue reading “Brace Yourselves…..”
