Re: Gamekeeper's gibbet? *Gruesome pic alert!*

There seems to be plenty of gamekeepers/farmers gibbets in the Dales and Howgills. I've seen allsorts of creatures festooned on them whilst on my walks there, namely Moles, corvids, Weasels, Stoats and Foxes. I'd rather not see them, but they don't overly distress me either. Though the practise does seem a trifle archaic.

Regards, Chris
