Foraging
Well I really had a good day foraging yesterday, collected apples, elderberries, blackberries and a fine brace of pigeons which all cost nothing, I get such a buzz from free food

Re: Foraging
I have a little of my garden for veg but we are high up so I am limited to what I can grow, foraging keeps me from sitting on my bum to much now I am retired

i wouldn`t bother trying to trap them , just get a cheap air rifle and shoot them , you need to be hitting them in the chest from the front just below the neck .
YES i walked away mid sentence , you were boring me to death and my survival instincts kick in .
