Deer cull

[ballibeg]

I split the income from the carcasses with the farmer. Nought a farmer likes more than cash in his hand for no work.

 

Yes when fences down and deer marauding you get asked to help but once the emergency is over thinking can change.

farmer is a very good friend but that is a good idea. once the freezer is full the next one should be sold and split the cash with him

I'd have to say that this is a big issue. Subsidies in recent years! Slippers! It's all a bit mad TBH. IMO

Tories, landowners! Big subsidies, huge renewable money, a generation ago farmers struggled, not now though, farmers benefit from torie and labours influence. I don't grudge the farmers "windfall” but it's an unfair distribution of money. And the average joe blogs has to pay for turbines in their leccy Bill. It's all a bit sad really.

I'm with you Mull. Huge grants going to deer fence and plant hardwoods at moment. Heard Duke of Argyll already at £350,000 for new fencing paid for by grant, AKA you, me and other taxpayers.

 

As for wind turbines it's tax the poor to pay the rich.

 

Grrrr

looking for a large chest freezer and recipes for venison ham

Have a look here for recipes,

Venison Prosciutto ...

I started this with a roe buck haunch shot October last year, currently hanging covered in wax in a cupboard for Christmas, think there is some other ham recipes there as well. I have also done bresaola with a whole roe back loin, ready quicker and very nice.
