royboy 5 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Now call me an opermist but today i have been given permission to shoot about eighty acres of rape that i have been watching since before xmas.Up till now i have been a pot shooter but there are thousands of pigeons demolishing the farmers crop and so i foresee that there may be a few more than i can eat in the next week or two.My question is if i want to sell the surplus to a dealer how long can i safely keep them frozen.?Thanks in advance.

moxy 617 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 It may depend upon your dealer but you will be good for a month or two. One close to me will only take them fresh but another will accept frozen. That was a good 12 months ago so things may have changed. A tip would be to carefully freeze them as to avoid freezer burn and save ruining the meat. I pulled some quail from the freezer the other day and it was fecked. Quote Link to post

ayrshiretaxidermy 29 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 What will the game dealer pay? 30p maybe. If you shoot them with steel and offer them for sale to a falconer, you could get between 50p - 75p each. Quote Link to post
