mackay 3,049 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I was talking to someone here who said he knew a guy who would take up to 1000 birds off one of the estates, IF true that is some serious cash! At the start of the season game dealers were paying £1.00 a brace, one of the shoots I go to they're paying 27 pence a brace (yesterday) and many shoots are getting nothing for them with the game dealers offering to pick them up for free. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
