Fuddster Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Evening one and all, I'm looking to freeze shot birds upto say a hundred and then drop them to the gamedealers. My questions are- 1.Do i need to empty their crops 2.Any guidance on freezing and presentation for the game dealer-I dont really feel a frozen lump of pigeons would go down well. 3.Does freezing the birds affect their price-fresh gets 25p per bird at the moment. cheers in advance. fudd.

Cranfield Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just freeze the birds as they are. Frozen birds are always less money than fresh birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
