    The only way you will be able to sell what you shoot is directly to a game dealer. A license is required to sell to anyone else. To be honest the price you will get for pigeon and rabbit will be very little. It will take a lot of, perhaps too much, effort to make any money this way. You will get a good price for deer but this requires more work.

    unless you have a VERY large hunting area id say you would run out of rabbits long before you made a decent bit of money and then your left with nothing to shoot and if there are other lads shooting in the same area i wouldnt imagine they would be too happy about you clearing the place of their hobbie!! I no i wouldnt anyway...

    The cost of fuel,ammo,food - drinks etc etc would it really pay you? I know for deer it breaks even and sometimes more but you have to factor all above in. Sometimes when you love something and you bring money into the equation, it's always turns out sour:p Or so I've been told:rolleyes:

    I have to agree - if money is your main motivation for shooting, your primary concern is no longer the animal.
