open season

The Part of the Year when it is both Legally, and Ecologically, Acceptable to Hunt for Animals,Fish or Game, of a Particular Species.

All the (civilised) Local National Governments set Start and End Dates for the Open Season; and the Closed Season.
These dates can be different for each of the Animals, Fish, or Game Species which a Hunter/Angler wants to target.
In Order to Avoid Being Caught, Arrested and Fined, it is necessary to Find out what the Start and End Dates are for the Open Season; as it applies to the Species of Quarry which YOU want to Hunt.
( The Survival of Species is At Stake; So Don't Risk Being Busted.)
The Fines are, Quite Rightly; VERY PAINFULLY EXPENSIVE.

Spring-Smith

Spring-Smithing was originally a branch of the Blacksmith's Trade-Skills.
A Spring-Smith is the Person who Puts The Force of Resilience into the Pre-Formed-Spring-Shape :
By Heating It; and Cooling It Very Slowly:
In a very-care-fully-controlled-manner.
The Traditional Method was to heat the forged mild steel up to a pale-cherry-red colour; and Immersing it in almost-boiling oil;which was then Very Slowly Cooled in a pit; in a packed-straw or hay-insulated box; which was then covered in HOT SAND to retain the heat.
A fire would then be lit on top of the sand, to keep it hot for a week, or as long as required.

WARNING !!! Especially At The Moment Of Immersion :
THIS TRADITIONAL METHOD INCLUDES A HIGH FIRE RISK.

It Should Only Ever Be Attempted Out-Doors, By Professionals, who have Good Fire-Fighting equipment nearby, and the skills to use it Safely.

" Take those old cart-springs down to the Spring-Smith; and have them re-boinged! "
