Raist Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi, I relatively new to stalking and have a nice permission which I shoot regularly. I am a member of basc and was wondering if I could sell my shot pigeons and rabbits to local a) farm shops, b) butchers and/or c) pubs and restaurants? I know that to sell deer you need to prove you have the relevant courses, dsc1 etc, but is there a requirement for selling rabbits and pigeons? If so, what is it? Additionally, what price is a fair price for the above 3 establishments? I oly ask as the cost of cartridges is going up quite a bit and it would be nice to offset a little buy selling my wares. Ps, I shoot head shots on rabbits, sometimes pigeons, and shotgun for pigeons. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reece Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I think you might need some sort of certificate, to prove you know if the meat is fit for human consumption. If you're a BASC member, contact BASC and ask about it. Someone in there should be able to help you. http://www.basc.org.uk/en/games-on/leftnav/game-meat-handling.cfm Like I say, contact BASC about it just to be on the safe side. I'm no expert on this and I could be wrong. Edited March 31, 2013 by Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I get £2 for prepared rabbits at a local (posh) butcher and £1.50 at the game dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveco36 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 My local butcher takes any pigeons & rabbits off me, £2.00 for rabbit and £3.50 per kilo of pigeon ( never done them individually) he keeps a ""roll over" book of what hes had and we either settle on cash or other meat when needed, works well for me so far this year I can probably afford 1 sausage!
