How to get a game dealer?

[ForFoxSake]

I’m wanting to know the best way to go about finding a game dealer. Is it just a case of google search game dealers near me then start sending emails? I’m in east fife if anyone knows of any to recommend for this area.
Also is a DSC1 qualification and a hunters number always required to supply roe to game dealers?
Lastly what value is in a roe carcass at the moment?

Thanks.

Peterborough Game collect from Fife on a Monday.
Not sure what the current rates are as I haven’t supplied them in a while.
Presuming that you have chiller facilities, they’ll record the chiller temperatures on collection.

Where are you in Scotland ?

Simpson game collect from central Scotland so might do Fife too.

Just call them and ask, if they do then you complete a simple new supplier form.

You must have a chiller facility of some sort

With "Scotland" as your location it is a big place! to send a van dealers won't rock up for 1 deer.
Highland Game would be a start.

As above. Just don't expect to get rich from it.

Highland game will only pick up from "approved larder" facilities and doubt be one deer
...if your online FB try giving up the game

Besides what has already mentioned .... The dealer will pay you very little indeed unless you are bringing in good numbers frequently! You will be best fully buchering and selling by post

Christ! That’s the first £10k sunk investment just to get the facilities and council approval etc.

Sell them to the sea world place for shark food!

Doesn’t Sandor who used to work for Castle Game now have his own set up in Kirkcaldy/Dunfermline area?

yeah it costs to do these things . There is no real money in this side of things until you get into you go big your challenge is for most will it wash it face ?

There is money in it but its only going to wash its face , for some that is fine . Pour lots of money and staff into things on a large scale and a good plan most things will give a return ( with the right people in the team ) .

Try using giving up the game on facebook, lots of folk use it to good effect

Are you still required to have the same certification for selling on GUTG as to a game dealer?
