Redgum Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 was getting £1.80 per Lb from my butcher but with this price he is guaranteed to always have stock so sometimes won't want to take it, next best is £1.50 per lb with wrapper off.

Dunkield Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think you need to go somewhere else for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have been getting £1.20 lb jacket on & collected , slightly less than above but I get the same all year & he takes all I shoot with never a problem over the money ..

Dunkield Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I just wish I had a proper game dealer close by, I give my carcasses to the estate as it isn't worth the drive to the nearest proper dealer to deliver it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Building my own cold room was my best move , it removes the need to get rid of the carcass asap especially in the warmer months , & helps him by only having to call once a week to empty it & having good quality venison ..a cold room is obviously not an option for every one but if you shoot any amount of deer it is a huge help ..

Dunkield Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have access to an industrial sized chiller but it is only powered on during the game season. It is a while since I last phoned round I might give it another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Have to add the cold room I built cost no more than £ 550 .. Second hand 4x2 , load of cellotex off cuts , few sheets of 12 mm ply , few sheets white plastic to line the walls , made a couple of hanging rails , second hand fridge plant which was surprisingly easy to find , couple of days putting it together , then gassed up and it's running ..the most expensive part was the gassing up , think it was about £250 ...holds 10 fallow easy but have had 14 at a squeeze ..
