Rabbits

Hunter456

If your not going to eat it don't shoot it that goes for deer aswell. Rabbits that I shoot are eating by me or the dog sometimes I would use gut shot rabbits in a smelly pipe to lure foxes in.

Hi Lads, I am looking for advice on what is the best way forward on this. I have deer permission that I use yearly. Normally shoot 2-3 deer for the year, get them butchered and freeze for my own use and a few friends. After that I dont shoot anymore deer. This year the farmers I have permission off want me to take out a higher number due to damage etc. What do lads do with deer that they can't eat? Is there game dealers in the west (mayo / galway / sligo) that I cn can sell to. Not looking to do this for financial gains at all, just couldn't shoot and let them go to waste. Any advice much appreciated.

Not sure I understand that question.
I’d eat deer 24/7 if I could.
Breakfast lunch and dinner. And I know the entire rugby team I play on would do the same.

How far west?

I'm south, but I'd travel as far as it takes just to get away from the wife.

I think this is a good hi-jack on a rabbit tread.
