  • I've shot rats at a good distance, mice too. I always use a good scope.

    Bad Science - that story is brilliant, on many levels.
    First, seeing swan electrocuted. Horrible but incredible!
    Second, the idea of grappling it's smoldering carcass into a pram is ace.
    Third, you roast it and eat it. Only the fucking queen mother has eaten swan. And you.

    How was it?

    I have always fancied Swan, there are more than enough around here!
    (btw, it wouldn't have been electrocuted from hitting a power cable, probably broke its neck, but it would have to short circuit the wire to fry!!)
    I have a ready supply of Squirrels and Crayfish, the american Signal Crayfish overrun our local river (as do the Swans!) and I trap them easily.

    The Squirrels invade my garden where I put out a lot of food for the birds. I pop them off with an air rifle, and once skinned I give them to a friend who cooks them.
    I will try Swan one day when no-one is looking!
