you'd be able to make a lot of money selling a vid of that...........


Tell him that and I dare say he'd do it. Better still, using a wolverine to give more Transatlantic appeal. He can borrow one of my wolverines from stock.

Is he a nutter then this Jamie Oliver? I've heard of him but not seen him in action.

Wolverine in his pants then. What do you do for the other 13 mins and 50 seconds?

I think you're underestimating the destructive power of the wolverine with that timing.

I was allowing 10 seconds for the wolverine and a minute for a detailed analysis of the blood, guts and gore with some slow motion replays.

"The wolverine is, like most mustelids, remarkably strong for its size. It has been known to kill prey as large as moose, "

Unlike the shy, retiring, limelight-avoiding Mr. Ramsay

Thread Hi Jacked again.

I watched the ferreting piece on the Gordon Ramsay programme and was very suprised to see that they were using bright yellow coloured purse nets. It flys in the face of everything that I've been taught or done but all the same, I'm sure that one of the rabbits actually ran into one of the techni coloured ones.

Is rabbit 'in season' the whole year round? Sometimes they're available to buy, sometimes not.

The answer is yes.
Traditionally, you only went rabbiting in the months with an 'R' in them because the rabbits tend to breed in the warmer months.

In reality, because of global warming, the rabbits are at 'it' for the full 12 months of the year.
Legally you can shoot rabbits all year round and infact, landowners by law, have a responsibility to control the rabbits on their land because they are a pest species. Not a lot of people know that.

Thanks, Bodger. I had wondered whether at certain times of the year the bucks have some sort of musk or something that spoiled the meat. So apparently not. Learned something.

Some say he has size 15 feet, so you no what they say about big feet, maybe theres a meal there for 2 ferrets, unlike jammies sweet meat or cheessie meat.
