Vocal Bavarian!

Casca, our Bavarian Mountain Hound decided last night to audition for The Hounds of the Baskerville!

I don't think we will be too popular with the neighbours!

So early this morning we went to the shoot to continue catching up the hen pheasants, unfortunately we only had 2 in the catchers. However that brings the total to 53, which is not bad for a small shoot.

It has been decided to leave it now until next weekend, which is good as otherwise it is 2 x 20 mile trips per day.

Any recipes anyone would like? Please let me know!

Have a Musto Ladies Shooting waistcoat going on the website next week! Www.Bavarian-mountainhound.co.uk - bookmark us and keep checking in for lots more!

Easy Venison Loin Recipe

This recipe produces the most fantastic pink venison!

Make sure Venison has been properly hung, ideally 7 days at 2 degrees.

Trim the loin to get rid of sinew and any 'silver' skin.

Rub with olive oil and season.

Place in a very hot non-stick frying pan and cook on all sides until brown total time about 5-6 mins.

Place loin on an oven tray and place in oven pre-heated to 180.

Leave in oven for 12 mins, then take out and leave to rest in a warm place for 10 mins.

Whilst resting, deglaze the pan with some red wine and add some red-current jelly, stir until reduced.

Serve the Loin sliced on a bed of mash potato with the red wine reduction spooned over. Delicious!
