micky 3,325 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 at this time of year you will with out fail have game dealers travelling the lenght and breth of the land to pick up pheashants.... surely there some round you Not in these parts mate, [Leicestershire] there worth next to nothing,there are some very big shoots were i live and i know most of the keepers,they all say the same thing,the markets carnt accept the volume of game that that these shoots produce on a weekly basis. They say in the next few weeks the market will be flooded with game fetching next to nothing,but they are still under pressure to produce more and more. Micky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Good idea about mincing and selling it for dog food. Ring up a couple of local pet feed places to see if they sell frozen minced dog food, they'd probably buy it off you. I can't find a freakin' rabbit within a 10 mile radius of me - I wish I had your problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DDD 4 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yorkshire game is offering 50p a rabbit, £1.75 a hare. Round these parts they are clamping down on "back door" sales to the restaraunts, apparently it "encourages" poaching The problem with taking rabbit in, as Alan at Rushyford will tell you, if you get a shotgunned rabbit it's no use, people like their fillings!! Try the bloke across in Coverdale, not sure what he's giving though. Alternatively you could just shoot for the pot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brooke 0 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 this dog food thing could work,will ring around a few tomorrow and see what they say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Good to hear mate .Nothing worse than having had a good outing, then the sour taste of [literally ]of not being able to get shot of the spoils .Result . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
