Zechk Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi all, So I'm aware of Ben Rigby Game in Maldon which is down the road from Witham, but I wondered if anyone knew of any other dealers in the area who were buying pigeons/rabbits/duck? Ben Rigby are only paying 25p a bird for pigeon, so I wondered if anyone knew someone who could beat that and ideally anyone who collects? Cheers in advance.

deny essex Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The only other local I know of is in Writtle, but dont think he is taking pigeon atm, only pays a tight 10 pence an adult bird and nowt for sqwabs so 25 pence in comparison is like gold dust .

shootnfish Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 There was a bloke out Burnham way ,cant remember his name who would pick them up for 30p each (fresh). But turned out to be a bit of a messer in the end wouldn't pick them up and if he did would take ages to pay.still owes me and my mate for a load. So be wary if you hear of someone that way. Rigby is your best bet. I remember years ago the bloke in writtle used give cartridges for pigeons Raker they were called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootnfish Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes it was if i remember. But maybe i was being a bit unfair as i have now heard he may of had a nervous breakdown or something along those lines but don't know how true it is.

OddJob Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 There is Hides and Deecs but that's a way off at Stansted. Respectable dealer and gun shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Took a 100 in over the weekend, phoned yesterday to redeem money in cartridges as I have taken a total of 228 since the start of April and been waiting to accumulate enough to pay for a slab to be told that they are not taking game at present. I am waiting for a call back. No sign up on the chiller to say that they are not taking though. UPDATE: Hides & Deeks are not taking pigeon until harvest time. There is Hides and Deecs but that's a way off at Stansted. Respectable dealer and gun shop. Edited May 28, 2014 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
