Pigeon Pieman Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi Robert, welcome to the site You need to find a Game Dealer or butcher that is willing to take them from you. Several London restaurants sell rabbit, so it shouldn't be too difficult. OR, to save driving miles with them in your car, look on www.yell.com (online yellow pages!) for dealer/butcher near to where you are shooting. The carcasses really need to be put in a chiller asap or the meat will spoil. Hope this helps PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Have you got a cool box of the type you use for camping? If so, take it with you along with as many frozen ice blocks you can get hold of. Re-freeze them at the hotel. It is illegal to leave carcasses on the land, plus the fact that the landowners will be annoyed if they find remains. Feral pigeons are no good to anyone unless they are for ferret food. Gut your bunnies as soon as possible as they soon spoil with guts in, and take a trowel with you to bury the entrails (or this will encourage foxes, and the farmer will not want you back again). Leave the heads and skins on (like all things, they are best left in their wrappers until you need them!!). If your cool box keeps cold, you will probably be able to get the bunnies back home. If I were you, I'd keep a few for yourself, but if you want to sell any, they need to get to the game dealer as quicly as possible. You should be able to dispose of the feral pigeons in the hotel's kitchen waste bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
