Good work @Sean.

Those hedgehogs will be good eating this time of year too, just have to be careful when your skinning them out to avoid getting pricked, ........... or do you pluck them and roast them with the skin on?

Cheers

Good work Sean.

Great work Sean - looks like there is good money in possums for a young guy - just keep shooting and trapping and lots of fun doing it
Good you are onto those hogs - lots of people think they are a novelty - but they are ugly killers of every ground dwelling animal, bird and invertebrate
Lady next door breeds and feeds them on her one acre section - I am sick of hog shit on the lawn and paths - 11 so far in three weeks - they seem to like the magpie trap - not sure if is the mirrors or the cat biscuits - I don’t have a cat

Good work. Maybe that rifle is a fairly accurate tack driver, and not just full of lucky shots. Next you be telling us the possums were in a tree, on the other side of the valley around 200yards away, and the hedgehog was on the run dodging cowshit

Just chuck them on the barby and eat them medium rear. They are really good (Pricklicious)

@Sean

Yep they are Prickilicious alright.

I like to roll them in clay and pat it down until they look like one big mud ball

Then roll the mud ball into an open fire and roast them in the coals until the mud bakes all the way through and you begin to see steam coming out of the cracks in the mud ball.

Then roll them out of the fire and crack them open ...... the skin and prickles remain stuck in the clay leaving the perfectly roasted Hog inside.

Goes great with Watties Tsauce too

Num Num Num
