Always loved going Melton, went this week just for a look, the poultry sale was more like a takeaway with foreigners buying dinner ?

Hardly  a rabbit on my patch nowadays. Christ, you used see the youngsters jumping in and out of the verges, tons on the fields of a sunny evening, lampers banging way at night.

Now, nothing. Even the roadkill is just muntjac and badgers.

TO me this is really odd as i have never before in my life known a wild boar to be put up for sale ? is it common in other parts of the Country ?

The more buyers the better. 

Thats what’s going wrong with the new age, everybody wants to be able to make dinner in the magic 30 mins. Nobody is buying large cuts anymore it’s all filleted this, diced that...

You must have seen some price fluctuations in the game market over the years Micky.

Never seen wild boar there, and I usually go at least twice a month
