Dave at kelton Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Battering mallard with priest does not always do it so not surprised at this but it should be dealt with ASAP. I use game liners to break necks on all game then there is no doubt. The estate I pickup on does not hang game they all go on trays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trays are stacked and ventilated allowing circulation of air. Birds go into a chiller within a few hours at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes life a hell of a lot easier as they are made to slot together when empty or on top with space between when full allowing air to circulate.

I spoke to the game dealer this morning, and low and behold he can supply me with the very thing. He's going to drop me of a quantity this week. Thanks for your suggestion.
