    Silly old paddock hunters. Pffttt...

    First post Covid hunt for the the old buggers.

    Brian shot a nice Fallow. 240 yards. 6.5-06.

    Restocked the freezers. Some for charities. Some sausages and salamis.

    Nothing at all wrong with "paddock hunting" usually that means you can recover 100% of the meat, which in my book is doing justice to the animal.............nothing wasted!

    Looks like an awesome hunt. Do you take the veni to the charities broken down yourself or does it have to go through a butcher?
