Roland Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Interestingly Rabbits were classed as vermin, and as such couldn't be protected by law, so you couldn't be prosecuted for 'Poaching'! However they brought into law a word for them called 'Colny' (Wrong spelling now lol) and then the courts fined / punished you for 'Being in prosuit of Colny.

Indeed the cartridges cost a lot more than what you can get for a brace eh! Was buying in at 50p a brace at one time, 7 years back. - or given them of course. Went to the locals in the market town I lived and offered nigh everyone a brace. Most that said that they'd like a brace wanted me to pluck and draw! :-/ :-/ Wouldn't do that as well, so two took a couple of braces and placed in freezer to Skin later. Never had that problem with any Bird / game etc. in the 'Ole day's' where we'd have eels etc. too. A bucket and a pair of shorts and plimsoles - no socks and wait for the floods. Eels in shallow water were just scooped up. Never did it as no one liked eels - Jellied eels of course were a different case -. Remember a couple of times dad had a couple given him. Was in our Bath both times for over a week as he daren't touch them - indeed was a Londoner and had no idea anyway and thought he'd make 'Jellied eels' lol. But how to culled, clean and prepare he had no idea lol ;D ;D Never heard / thought of a door and the nail, and flour eh! Got the poachers from next door to back them back lol. Now thaey were good and lived off the land. Hedgehogs :-/ just loverly sweet pork etc. etc. And Clay cooked was great. use to go 'Hop Picking' with the Gypsy's in the 50's at 5 and 7 Oaks near Tunbrigde in Kent. Now they were great holidays.
