Fieldfare
À propos de la chasse (fieldfare)
Fieldfare hunting is a traditional form of hunting that has lost attention, but offers fine hunting and good meat. Thrushes gather in large flocks in autumn and can be taken by standing near their flight paths.
The hunt usually takes place near rowan trees and other berry-rich trees where the thrushes congregate. A simple stand with a good view is all you need. When the flock arrives, it's all about being quick.
Fieldfare pie is an old Norwegian delicacy that deserves a revival.
