I always cook mine in an oven bag with apples, onion, kumara, prunes and a bottle of cider. Cook on about 150C for 3hrs (depending on size) then cut open the bag and brown under the grill until done...

Had a couple of weeks with fine weather so took the chance to take the grandies 1 week each and set some traps. First week with 8 year old Finn we set 30 traps over 2 nights and got 23 possums. He...

I make mine with mushrooms, onion and just half a wedge of blue cheese. Not as strong but non-believers soon learn to like it.

Our weekends usually end up rabbit shooting. BeeMan shot a perfect young bunny so I made my first ever casserole tonight. No recipe but sautéed lots of bacon, onions, garlic, carrots, rolled the...

We've had a few bee frames pilfered by some light fingered riff-raff recently so every bee site now has a camera. After losing 80 hives 3 years ago we can't afford to have that happen again - we...

@ kukuwai just focusing on the dogfood at the moment. We've saved the fur though so will sell it eventually.

Winter 2022 has been so busy or the weather has been crappy but with the dog food freezer nearly empty BeeMan, the dog and I took the chance to trap 3 days last week and again this week before the...

We've had over 300mls this month - not good for the septic tank or animals

this is our Granny flat where the worker lives - his car nearly got swamped so he learnt very quickly to move it to...

If you ever get the chance go to Wingspan in Rotorua. They have an amazing place there and have a display with the resident Falcons - you can even get them to land on your arm if you are game...

BeeMan put them on - meant to be M for Maci and F for Finn, the Grandies helped at the beginning but soon lost interest:D I scored the pie tins (about 50 of them) from a friend who used to own a...

Looks impressive Rushy. I spent 2 days making 36 individual pies using venison trim we had in the freezer . Didn't have any red wine but used a similar recipe to yours. I had 3 pots on the go at...

Great show and I hope they continue with the cooking part at the end. Will make sure BeeMan saves me a whole piece so I can try that pulled venison in the crockpot. And the reloading part was useful...

I know this isn't anywhere near what you guys are sweltering in but this was on one of our cameras we checked today.

Damb branch sat there for a couple of days setting the camera off but we...

Bees have come through winter okay but the kiwifruit orchards are generally a week late for some reason. The next 2 weeks are going to be the busiest but we have a great crew of 4 guys who just get...

Been busy with the bees and Kiwifruit pollination but BeeMan and I had a chance to check the cameras for the first time in 6 weeks. It's amazing how quickly you loose your hunting fitness as we were...

Shows how good Reba is though aye Mooseman. They still wouldn't have found it without her. The boy's were going in the wrong direction.

Finally remembered to take a photo before it was demolished. Venison with a whisky and wholegrain mustard sauce, scalloped potatoes and silver beet all out of our backyard.

Had a week off and went up north with Mooseman and @Mrs mooseman for 3 days just to clear the heads and really relax. Had a wonderful time in and around Whangarei (my old town) ate and drunk too...

BeeMan and I had a relaxing 2 days fishing at Tauranga. Ended up with 18 snapper, 20 Tarakihi, 1 Trevalli and a huge Gurnard. Had a pod of dolphins following the boat and had to maneuver around 8...

Finally got serious about trapping again after missing out last year with Covid shutting the forest. Our first pre-feed today, then Friday and setting traps on Monday. Area looks promising so will...

Mooseman forgot to tell the whole story. After he said back up he threw his canon out the window and Beeman stuck his fingers as hard as he could in his ears waiting for the reverberation and cloud...

Venison casserole for tonight's dinner with home grown broad beans, potato and kumara mash. Even the 5 and 7 year grandies cleaned their plates. We have the grandies and daddy for the next few weeks...

Another 2 weeks finished. We split up this time and did a ridge each over 4 nights. We trapped a respectable 172 so now have a week off waiting for the fine weather to last longer than 2 days. But...

BeeMan hasn't told the story about tackling a possum today in the blackberries. I was sitting up on the dog box when we stopped at a set of two traps. I looked back and saw a possum walking into the...
