    I'm lucky enough to get quite a few around my house. One has even walked into the garage to see what I was doing lol.

    Sorry about the poor quality, I meant to press record on the camcorder, but pressed snapshot instead.



    And the one behind the shed, earlier this year.

    That's what I heard. Sounds like a plan, but I can't imagine these's much meat on a hedgehog to be honest.
    If you stretch out both arms to represent all time on earth, then with one stroke of a nail file you could eradicate all human history, and 98 per cent of all human history was spent in the stone age.

    I think you're right there. It would probably be similar to squirrel. However I must point out to all our UK members (not that they would go out and eat hedgehog anyway) that...

    Hedgehogs are a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) Schedule 6. They are also protected under the Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996.

    A very interesting book on living by poaching and road kill is one from 1979, "Adventures of an Artisan Hunter" by d. Brian Plummer, Boydell Press. Especially the chapter called "Well, don't knock it till you try it," which discusses the finer points of the edibility of heron, badger and of course hedgehog.

    I've only ever seen hedgehogs in the pet store as said here, is funny though, was my thought while reading through the posts, then I see it posted above.

    And Adam, the extra left over clay you can use to differentially harden your knives. Can't get a hamon with O-1 though, I've tried and also read it's very difficult.
