abadshot Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I was just wondering how much everyone got for there pigeons and rabbit, I've just spoken to the only local game dealer I know and was told 30p per pigeon and 40p per rabbit (Not gutted). Is this about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this about right? How can you be 'not gutted' about those prices?! Prep them yourself and you can get several times what you've been offered, if you sell to restaurants, that is.

Billy. Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) anyone know of any resturants who will buy pigeons/rabbits in doncaster/rotherham/or barnsley area... Just get knocking. It won't take long. You'll find that people who do know of restaurants who buy in, will not be so keen to share this... Kind of makes sense really, as they'll just lose out.

Dekers Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 No idea about pigeons, but £1 per rabbit, cleaned only, and preferably head shot! Not generally very cost effective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy1 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was offered £1 per rabbit( that's gutted, skinned) by a local butcher,I checked his prices for rabbits when passing and he was charging £9.50p for them! He also pays 50p per pigeon and sells a pack of four breasts for £3.99p! Needless to say,I don't take them in there,prefering to give them to my local pub and get a free meal on occasions Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
