Venison prices, what does the future hold?
sussex replied to Tyla's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
My landowners to a t...on one the culling is the last consideration after all the other land uses of which he had many , mainly because it brings in the least revenue ..His other revenue streams revolve around people being out on the land for training purposes , forestry , office lets , races etc , so someone out with a rifle can pose a problem .Even more so if there are multiply people so his solution is one person who he trusts and liases with to do the job , which is what he looks at it as .After several years of doing the job I now have carte blanch over the deer with regards to numbers , -

The odd one or two DC no problem , it’s a different story when you have ten or more a week , you need cold storage especially in the warmer months , people of our oik don’t have a problem with a whole carcass , we can skin and butcher an animal to a sufficient level and pack it away .As most of the people I know who would want a whole animal are fairly apt at getting there own it leaves you with the ones that only want some if it’s cut up , vacuum packed and ready for the freezer .it then also leaves you with the bits that no one wants ( skin and bones)to get rid of , and that’s after you have -
Venison prices, what does the future hold?
sussex replied to Tyla's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
Prices this year were through the floor , next year I see as even worse .Like anything it’s supply and demand and from talking to my dealer there has been a huge oversupply in the last couple of years . The market for venison has been growing on average 10% a year since 2016 , plans were put in place to increase the amount of imported farmed venison to meet this demand , and I don’t think that demand has dropped significantly just because of Covid 19 .. Where I see a difference is in the amount of home produced wild venison , my dealer was inundated with carcasses .What, all of a sudden -
Man up ffs ...I had to have a plaster on my knee when I fell over it was that bad ...?

Ten metres ,your looking at around 32ft into 16’6 ...200ft ( 60mtr) into 15ft .....that’s SIX times higher than an Olympic diving board ...Definitly Darwin material JD ...?

Solar is the way forward , tried to get the wind turbine one but they are having problems with them if you use them indoors with the windows shut ...

The Darwin Awards will have some serious contenders this year ...200 ft into 15ft of water ....?..one on life support , one with spinal injuries and one with a broken leg ...

His work just keeps getting better ...excellent .. -
They came from Somalia , he’s a Somali with British citizenship that allowed him to live study & work here , which in turn rewarded him and his adopted country ..Amir Khan has dual citizenship British / Pakistan ..of which he’s equally proud off .. For every Mo Farah there’s a dozen you would want to see the back of ..

Trouble is they don’t bring it up with our values because they don’t have them ...they have only have country of origin values ..you can’t teach something of which you know nothing of ..

I don’t see that , if a dog was born in a stable it doesn’t make it a horse ..if you took just say an Ethiopian couple as an example , regardless of colour or whatever , if they had a kid over here to my mind he’s still an Ethiopian , just born over here ..

They are a common site around Javea now , got about the same road sence as a rabbit but the car comes of a whole lot worse ..we narrowly missed a small sounder trotting across the road a few weeks back ... not favourites of the smallholders or vineyard owners to say the least ...

Suppose it’s lucky not everyone is as selfish or stupid ....the NHS has its work cut out keeping up with people doing there best not to get it .. Hopefully all the idiots going to the meets don’t end up standing next to someone on public transport or shopping ..

I’d like my old Healy 3000 back , but doubt I could afford it now ...even a couple of the old escorts wouldn’t be bad , the money they make is ridiculous ..

Have you never heard the old saying mate ? “Quick , hire a teenager while they still know everything “ ..it must be the reason , there’s not a lot I didn’t know when I was seventeen ..sadly all that knowledge has gone ...?

I don’t see how just being rich means your an idiot with a gun , given you tend to have to a bit savvy to end up rich ..being rich isn’t a prerequisite to being an idiot with a gun ..the amount of gun related accidents you have over your side of the pond would suggest a tidy cross section of the population would fail miserably to get a ticket over here ..I can think of only about three or four incidents that I know of over here of of accidents involving firearms , and that’s in forty five years of owning a gun ..and one of them the silly sod shot his self ...idiots come in all forms .. h

Just a bit melodramatic mate ..every one cocks up at some point , be it with a gun , bow , dog , hawk and to use that to beat another section is as stupid as the subject in the original post ..Anyone who claims never to have cocked up is either a lier , fool or doesn’t get out much ..It’s called gaining experience , it’s why if you have any sense you learn from your mistakes what ever your sport is to go on to improve ..coming on here making it sound like an everyday happening is bollocks ...
