£625 a Tray.....How much!

[Tim.243]

At the game dealers dropping off our pigeons, a Merc fridge van was full to the brim with trays of partridges.
I started doing the maths for what has been spent by the people shooting them!!

25 in a tray @ £25 quid per bird! We both agreed our days shooting was far more fun and would have cost £6850.00!! lol

i think you could easily put another tenner a bird on them

Doubt you will get partridge shooting at £25 a bird.

Greys round here on one shoot I know were £175 a brace 10 years ago......

feck that! drive around the lanes and they are free in your quick ??

 

[Dogmac]

If you can get partridges at £25 a bird then I'd like to book a few days

 

[Gazza]

We charge £35/bird but at the game dealers you are hard pushed to get 40p/bird

 

[Tim.243]

The point I was making is whether it is 25/30/35 quid a bird just is seems a lot of money for a tray of birds when it is in front of you....
My price is based on a local shoot who charges £25.00 for a pheasant which is 3 times the size and eats a lots more grub than a red leg......

£25 a bird is very cheap these days, and there is more work involved in producing partridges greys especially.

A 250 bird driven day costs £10,000 here.

Thats still cheap shooting Tim £35 here inc VAT. However Pheasants go to wood at 7 weeks old, redlegs stay in verandas until at least 12 weeks old and are still on pellets to 15 weeks (pheas on wheat at ten weeks). All birds charged at same price on commercial shoots locally.

I wouldnt pay you £2 a bird. In fact I wouldnt pay to shoot anything!
