gamerooster 1,179 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 a friend of mine owns a couple of flight ponds, and on a average day they bag about 20 mallard. usually he gives them away, but he has thought about this season selling them to the gamedealers and whatever money he gets on them, pumping it straight back into improving the shoot. My question is, obviosly when there in season, is what price are you getting for a brace of mallard at your local gamedealers? 1 Quote Link to post
alimac 882 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 All depends on the time of the season and if there's a lot of shoots putting in reared duck from commercial shoots, but for a brace you'd be looking between £2.50 & £3.00 Quote Link to post
