Same in some parts of the country for rabbits, if you can't beat them eat them . . . I used bake them in silver wrap, when I had feed rape.. Only one here that would eat them. Hehe, I love my pheasants, bunnies and bambies but I was put off pigeon for life many years back at a dinner party which resulted in everyone queueing outside the bog making the most disgusting smells, then as soon as they got out they'd go to the back of the queue and go round again . . . never eaten one since, just to be on the safe side. Since they're so numerous I wonder no-one has thought of setting up a Pigoen Marketing Board to market them to the punters and make the farmers a profit, just like the Milk Marketing Board, oh hang on . . .

In this case it was a relatives barn and no fee was charged, so claiming off the land owner was not an option. The insurance on the caravan paid without problem. Mice may have got in while the door was open or even before the caravan was stored. Not sure if the land owner would have been blaimed if it had been a commercial let.
