For Sale; Bushnell Prime Low-Glow trailcam. Free gift: 3 sets of lithium batteries. The last two carcasses that have gone out have been ignored by everything but blasted cats. The first of those went out on a filthy night with…

Having stocked up on four sets of lithium batteries to power foxcam, I haven’t been putting it out recently. TBH, the images it captures are such rubbish and the video is even worse that I have become somewhat disenchanted with…

Some weeks ago at one of our all-too-infrequent [once a month] farmers market days, I bought a venison haunch from our favourite game butcher. I left it wrapped and put in the freezer until the time felt right. On Friday…
