Thanks for the replies lads,
Now that I've made up my mind to eat one, I prolly won't see one this year, as I only have a small container type garden on the deck, but might just plant a small row of bush bean to Bait them in.
In the past, after shooting them,what put me off skinning was that they just seemed to be crawling with fleas n ticks...any good way to de louse em?...i was thinking a decent singe with a hand held propane torch?...or do the vermin leave the body when it cools?
I suppose I could put a flea n tick dog collar on them for a couple hours after death?,lol.I wonder if you could soak them in vinegar or booze, even a mild bleach mix or something to rid rid ofthe wee vermin?
cheers
