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.

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 :laugh:

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 :rolleyes:

 

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.

there is always demand for it, yes we get peanuts for it but it wiil go, game dealers are making a killin exporting it to places like europe, there is a good few italians that come up around here every year, all game from a bunnie to a goose is put in a container and sent back to italy, the money they make covers the majority of there two weeks sport...
