How much are ferrets? And is there as much meat on them as a chicken to make a curry for 4?

Ive never seen doughnuts in the wild. I think to be truly sustainable you need loads of land, you will get bored of just wild meat pretty quickly. You could have backyard chickens to eat to save you the hunt. I prefer blackberry foraging as opposed to hunting being a mostly vege. I would get bored of blackberries pretty quickly too. I would love to be the romantic idyll of a cottage garden peasant though, I reckon I would do quite well.

I'm not sure if it's worth getting ferrets or not. My dad always kept rabbits at home but that probably works out more expensive than wild ones because you need to feed them however if you have a buck and a couple of does you would be able to supply the whole neighborhood within months. The same goes for half a dozen hens and one rooster. I suppose it depends on space and time available.

In answer to the question we haven't considered the old ways because we simply don't have the appetite for it any longer

As a general rule, I don’t go around smelling ferrets.

to grow enough to be entirely self sufficient in vegetables all year is very hard work. The number of insects and animals who want to share in your hard work is staggering too

Woodpigeon is nice, though not much on one other than the breasts.... BBQ or stew with shallots and peas. Pigeon paté is good too.

Squirrels are quite tasty, I put a skewer through and bbq them, sweet chilli sauce goes well with them, or a peanut satay sauce.

You'll definitely have pigeons on your vegetables, make sure your air rifle is zeroed in well, go for the head....dont waste meat!!

God yes, mice and voles feasted on my beetroots this year. Carrots hammered by Carrot Root flies.

Also watch out for the shot when you're eating it, many a broken tooth results from that.

We were lucky in that the foxes kept the slugs at bay this year but our runner beans were decimated by black fly

That's why you go for the head....dont eat that bit (and, if you miss, no wounded bird/animal to hunt down to despatch!)

Rabbit meat is not very nutritious anyway. Better to go veggie.

I grew some vegetables this year, the best bits were the spring onions and tomatoes. I failed miserably with the rest of the vegetables though.
