Sunday evening ponder…

I’d love to get your thoughts on this.

As someone who spends most of their time outdoors, I’ve seen almost every creature that can eat a rabbit, eat a rabbit — goshawks, tawny owls, foxes, stoats… I’ve even seen a badger dig out a nest of kits and eat the lot.

I consider myself part of that same natural system. I’m another predator — one that kills quickly and humanely (more so than some of the above). And, like the fox or the buzzard, I take only what I need.

I feel deeply connected to the countryside and to the lives — and deaths — that sustain it.

Some people will find this picture upsetting or even disturbing. But does that reaction show a disconnection from the natural world?

Have we become so detached that we no longer see ourselves as part of nature’s cycle of life and death?

Almost every bird, mammal, insect, fish and amphibian consumes other species — yet when a human does it, many see it as wrong, cruel or strange.

This isn’t a meat-eater vs plant-eater debate. In fact, I think those who eat meat of unknown origin and welfare are just as detached from nature as those who condemn hunting altogether.

If we truly want to raise animal welfare and reduce environmental impact, perhaps we need to start by thinking of the animal as an animal — and of ourselves as part of the same living system and not separate from it.

Not looking for a fight…just interested in your perspective.

Even on a grey day it’s always a treat to head down into the valley to check on the fish, such a tranquil spot.

All stocked up and ready for the Autumn sessions thanks to @exmoorfisheries.

The Red deer rut is an amazing wildlife spectacle but not all contenders make it through unscathed. This is the second one this week with a nasty wound that is already badly infected. No good for humans unfortunately but it won’t go to waste the dogs will be very happy!

I love being in the wood this time of year, the Tawny Owl males are starting to call for a mate and the Red Stags are starting to bolve, magic!

You can see just how well insulated (or how much heat is lost through the eyes) this little chap is.

We had such fun learning about food production with the early years children at a local primary school this week! If children (and adults) don’t know or care where their food comes from, how can they make informed choices about what to eat as they become consumers in their own right?

All of our sessions are about giving unbiased information to children to get them to critically think and question where their food comes from and how it was produced…we never say what they should or shouldn’t eat.

Often chucked in the hedge or in the dog but you are missing out! Roe Buck kidneys rolled in seasoned flour with smoked garlic and rosemary…genuinely one of the best things you can put on a plate for breakfast! So simple, so tasty and about 30mins from field to fork this morning.

It breaks my heart to see them dead on the road. This time of year I have a bucket in the truck and any I see on the road on my stalking outings I scoop them up and pop them in the nearest field or wood. This little chap was a little bemused but he soon snuffled off into the hedge.

We had the best time yesterday @westilkerton farm - Roe Buck to burger session, simulated deer stalking and a tractor farm tour.

It was brilliant to be able to make a direct comparison between a wild deer and cattle farming. As always it wasn’t about telling people what to think, just an opportunity to learn, ask questions and have fun.

A big thanks to Chris and Tortie for hosting us and @exmoor.farmer for her help throughout the day.

It’s amazing some of the damage Roe Bucks inflict on each other during the rut. This old warrior was covered in scars and had lost an eye! He’d have passed on his genes and produced some strong fawns I don’t doubt, so a nice one to take.

It’s called fishing not catching for a reason! The warm weather made things a little tricky but we caught a few fish and more importantly had a lovely morning doing something humans have been doing for ever…sharing food as a community! We also had a fish delivery from the wonderful Exmoor Fisheries who have been so supportive of our sessions, the kids loved seeing the fish go into the lake.

We’re a not for profit company that is passionate about teaching children where their food comes from and what goes into producing it.
Few things do this better than learning to fish, a skill that teaches patience, resilience a love for the outdoors and of course, where your food comes from.
We already have some wonderful volunteers that give up a few hours of their time to come and help out on our sessions. We’d really like to run more sessions but to do this we’d like to broaden our pool of volunteers. You don’t need to be the world’s greatest fly angler just be able to help the children cast, retrieve and dispatch the fish. We have a couple of sessions next week (28th and 1st) at Clatworthy if you’d like to pop along and see what it’s all about. Or send us an email: info@exmoorgameschool.com or Facebook message for more information. Thanks very much.

Fish is such an important part of a healthy diet particularly for children, it was great to see everyone get stuck in and try something new. A huge thanks to @rootprojectuk for hosting us again. Lots going on over the summer holidays so keep an eye out and hope to see you soon.

Taking a whole deer into a school is a big deal for most children, it’s an entirely new experience. I love watching the initial trepidation (sometimes revulsion) turn to curiosity, then to interest and then hands on involvement.

Some beautiful and heavily pregnant Exmoor hinds enjoying the Summer rain - not what we were after tonight but I’ll never tire of watching them.
Also an opportunity to try out the new HIKMICRO Condor 2.0 from @opticswarehouse early days but what a bit of kit!

A lovely morning yesterday with the @wildmindscommunity talking about food, farming and nature. It’s pretty special what these guys are up to and well worth checking out.

A top day today @moortawdevon with a fantastic group of families. Surrounded by nature, preparing a meal together, something humans have been doing for millennia feels like the most natural thing in the world!
A big thanks to Gemma and Sam for hosting us, if you’re in the area (even slightly) go check out their honesty shop it is packed full of super tasty REAL food.

We had a fantastic time with the year 3 & 4 pupils from Bishop Nympton and East Anstey Primary schools last week. Not only were the children engaged and genuinely invested in the session, they were really supportive of one another other and worked amazingly well as a team to make their venison burgers…good job! It was also lovely to sit down with parents at lunchtime, enjoy a venison burger and chat about the session. Thanks for having us and hope to be back soon.

Great afternoon with the final Year 8 group from @westbucklandschool - it’s been a pleasure working with them over the past few weeks. It’s safe to say there are definitely some converts to Exmoor rabbit, a seriously underrated and underutilised wild meat - no chemicals, no carbon footprint and like venison, the highest possible standards of animal welfare.

When did you last eat Offal? Liver in particular is one of the world’s most nutrient dense foods. High in vitamin B12 essential for effective brain function, vitamin K vital for bone strength and health - not to mention vitamin C, copper, iron and zinc. So if it’s been a while maybe it’s time to give it another go. We have some incredible beef and lamb farmers here on Exmoor so chat to your local farmer or butcher and see if they can get you some…if we don’t ask for it we won’t get it!
