prices paid for rabbits paunched, skinned, dressed

If I get any large numbers I get £1.00 a piece (rifle) head shot rabbits paunched but in the fur from a game dealer but I don't have a cash outlet for dressed rabbits so I just give them away to friends or pensioners if I am only getting low numbers!

 

Edit: If they are hit with the shotgun I just use them for bait in my fox cage traps!

I take it if you are selling PROCESSED game you are registered as a food business?

 

 

Depending on the circumstances of the shooter, the land, the provision of processed meat rather than in-skin, in-fur you do not necessarily have to be registered.

 

full details here:

but the important bit for most recreational and occasional shooters is here:

 

 

 

"You do not have to be registered if:

• you have a shooting/stalking estate (with or without a game larder) where all the in-fur/infeather game produced is either for private domestic consumption or comes under the

exemption for supply of small quantities of in fur/in feather game direct to the final consumer or

to local retailers.

It is unlikely that your Local Authority will require registration if:

• you shoot recreationally on other people’s land and have no game larder of your own.

However, you may sometimes shoot more than you can consume or supply onwards to final

consumers or local retailers on the day. As long as the journey is short enough to prevent carcase

deterioration and the vehicle is suitably clean and free from sources of contamination from pests,

animals, etc, and that the carcase has been examined by a trained hunter then direct delivery to

the AGHE by the individual recreational shooter is a sensible option. If you are able to show that

this is only an occasional occurrence then it is unlikely your Local Authority would want to register

you or your vehicle formally. Ensuring that your vehicle is kept clean on shooting days, free from

contamination and, where necessary, disinfected, will demonstrate ‘due diligence’ under the Food

Safety Act 1990."
