Spaniel Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Everyone Does anyone know of any Game Dealers around the Bristol/Glos area. Just that there are only so many Pigeons I can eat and wondered if there was anyone local who would be able to take them off my hands..

Cranfield Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Have you tried yell.com? http://www.yell.com/quickclicks/SP/P/Poult...alers/bristol/1 Dont know if you know them already They look more like Chicken Sellers than Dead Pigeon Buyers. We do have a thread pinned at the top of the "Welcome" section that is called "Useful Links", in there we have a group called "Game Dealers". If anyone has any contact information for any Game Dealers, if you PM it to me, we are happy to add it to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks guys, i will give some of those listed ago, in the week and see how i get on Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbob Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 What are game dealers paying at present, my local was paying 50p fresh and 25p for frozen earlier in the year but last week was only paying 14p fresh hardly worth the diesel to take them up there. I suppose its supply and demand and theres lots of pidgeons being shot in large numbers at present, but it would be interesting to see what people are getting around the country.

Highlander Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Currently getting .25p for fresh which is about as high as it gets round here. Rabbits .30p but about to rise to .50p again about as good as it gets. Can get somewhere between .10p & .18p at different times for frozen all year round. Should say this is 'as is' guts in fur/feather on. Edited August 21, 2008 by Highlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhamm2 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Where do you sell them for £1.50 Stillsy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Are you selling straight to a Butcher or Resturant then, rather then using a Game Dealer. I think there is a guy in Fairford Glos who will pay 20p frozen for a Pigeon but i think you have to deliver about 200 at a time...

PUSC Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 stillsy are you ripping your poor relatives off lol. wish i had more pigeon than i could care for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-Bore Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 i get £1.50 for a 2 breasts cut of the bone, tear the skin cut them off, £1.50, all u have to is cut out the middle man, and u can afford to shoot 1 pigeon with 10 shells! I thought I was doing well at 60p/2 breasts (1 bird). At least it covers the excess shells when you shoot more than you can eat! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillsy Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 straight to the restuarant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Be very careful. If you sell to the public or direct to the food trade you need a game dealers licence from your local council, they have to come out and do an inspection of your larder/chiller. If you don't have a licence you are breaking the law and will get serious trouble if someone gets e-coli from your birds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark.

shooper Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Good point Mark, I think you need a food hygene certificate for preparing? Anyhow i managed to find a taker for my pigeons, it was 40p in feather frozen, then 30p now 20p. I'll keep them in the freezer utill the price goes up! It's not quite stock's & shares!
