Did you save any of those early red fox recipes ? Daryl


Daryl, her you find a recipe of today. In Switzerland they use to eat the so called "Fuchspfeffer", a special meal as you can see in the video:

But they made a mistake in my eyes, because they didn't look for trichina, which is very, very important, because the Fox is an all eater as well as the Wild Boar!

Will look for an old recipe and let you know.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Wolfgang, is trichina the same as trichinosis here. ? A disease from pork , here, but mostly eliminated today. We loved your youtube cooking adventure, but I am not sure, yet, if I would order fox in a restaurant. Thank you for your effort. Look forward to an "old" recipe. Daryl

Yes Daryl, it is. The old recipes for Fox all included a 3 day long watering of the meat in a running water...After this, the procedure is like with hare.
I'm not really curious for the taste and beside this, in Germany it is prohibited to eat "Caniden" But I'm happy to get the wonderful fur of those Foxes. My latest Fox gives together with a Raccoon a nice background for the new Mauser Custom Rifle of a friend:



Cheers,

He asked what I was going to shoot with this as he had a Franchi 20ga. I told him I could kill as much as he could with his.
In the mornings we hunted just with myself, my friend his son and the father. The afternoon is when hunters arrived to go on a big hunt for Hungarian partridge, hares but too early for pheasant as they would not bring as much at the market if not fully plumaged. All the game was sold and you could buy it from them if you wanted.

I was wondering if that is still the tradition.


David, in some regions it is still so - but of course in general there is much less small game today in Germany! In contrary the number of big game, especially Wild Boar but also Red Deer has increased.
But the german hunting tradition is always the same. We lay it on the ground, called "Strecke legen" and bid farewell to the game with horn signals:



And be sure: All is organized very well, no matter if hunting in the woods or in the fields. wink

Gunwolf

Hi all, Will and I went out for a 1/2 day hunt, saw birds, but getting wild, that time of year. Anyway, Will tickled one, but didn't bring him down. I was able to get 2 so it was a good day for me. Will see what tomorrow brings.

I used my 12b Henry Atkin, sure like this gun!



Best!

Greg

Gunwolf, thanks for sharing the photos of the hunting tradition of your land. Greg, nice Atkin. I have his boxlock stepbrother. Had some spare time today and looked for ‘doodles for several hours. Only had two flush and got the gun on one. It was just me and my best girls, Willa and Abby. Here’s typical woodcock habitat down here. This is ideal as the rivercane mixed with palmettos is about chest to shoulder high.

This one is just 3 hours old. It isn't a great picture. The light was lousy and then some, but it was a GREAT afternoon with some excellent dog work.

Gil, a moment of truth: you are too old for tramping around in that jungle. Hire some assistants to go ahead of you with machetes and chop out a path. Especially for a 2oz. piece of liver on a stick. Cool gun though...Geo
