higgins 75 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Can get them on ebay, at about £8 a throw since when have rabbit pelts fetched such high prices,i can't believe people would pay anything for a rabbit skin,i remember whole rabbits being sold for 50 p or a pound,certainly it may be cheaper to get out with someone doing a bit with their dogs and taking one or two home and skinning them yourself,8 pound a pelt, blimey i can see another fur rush coming on ,the rabbits will certainly feel the heat now, i ve not had a lurcher for a while but if those prices hold steady i may reconsider it again!Seriously,it's not going to be enjoyable just doing it for the money,but mooching about is looking more appealing right now, Higgins.

gnipper 6,786 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I shot 25 in about an hour and a half the other week, i'm not even gonna bother with the maths but thats a pretty good hourly rate at £8 each. The butchers only give us £1-2 for the middle bit Link to post Share on other sites
