Shame you cant just sell em on :blink: i know not a very good price at the moment but around me on any given weekend in the game season there are thousands of patridges shot so this makes price come down . we sell all to a game dealer who we have had come pick up for a good number of years tho with prices being different may look else where if needs be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Stalker Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Was talking to my gamekeeper mate about this the other day, at the start of the season he was getting £1 a brace for redlegs he's now getting 35p a brace :blink: All about supply & demand. Saw a cling wrapped partridge in my local sainsburys priced at £3.49..... thats some mark up He gives all the beaters a brace at the end of the day & the option to buy what ever they like for a £1 a brace, my freezer is bulging with game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon gone up round me to 35p and hare is £6 each at the mo . Your getting a good price on duck i must say :blink: Edited November 16, 2009 by proTOM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How a pigeon can be worth more money then a pheasant is beyond me, I nor modern science can figure that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's nearly a quid a pigeon!) In our local farmshop they are selling grey squirrels at £4.50. Now I know they are a bu99er to skin, but the dressed weight is only 8oz. That's £9 per lb on the bone Edited November 17, 2009 by UKPoacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiiithy Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I know it's illegal to sell goose but does anybody know an appropriate level of gift to offer if someone is kind enough to give me a goose? I was thinking carts or a bottle of something possibly? Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 If I shoot a goose between now and christmas and you want to collect it you can have it. How does that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiithy Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 If only you weren't the other end of the country I think I might end up with a shop bought one in fairness but I'd really like a proper one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
