Thread: Rabbits wanted. North Island only. $$ paid.

Holy crap that be $10.00 a hare,the ones down here can be up too 4kg. Whats your minimum pick up as we can store a few in a freezer till the minimum is reached? "paunch" do you mean gutted?

No good for round hare Gamplan

I'd be lucky to see 10 rabbits in a year.

Seems the RCD got a good number of them and they haven't really bounced back yet.

I could get some wallabies .... does it matter if the backsteaks and rear wheels are already missing?

Cheers

might aswell leave the guts in to keep the weight up

When we was selling goats back in the day they would accidently get dripping wet before being dropped into the freezer.

like wet possum fluff!! and talking the ear off the buyer and distracting him.

my bro use too sell frozen cow hides wrapped in bricks wasn't long till they stopped buying of him

or like the days when cockys got paid by weight in there vat, the tanker driver would look at the lcd screen and write the weight down then give them the docket take the milk and drive away..........then the cockys would take all the meal bags of the top of the vati was told this story

when the forestry guys would get payed bullets by the goat tails they got pretty good at making them and splitting them to make one into two, then let them get abit stinky so the guy counting wouldnt look too close

Yeah mate, paunch removed means stomach and intestines removed....see the thread on 'new way of gutting rabbits'. Minimum pick up depends on location. Down your way it would be around 250kg. There are some rules that need to be followed though, but she's pretty basic really. Need to pick up to ensure bodies are not more than 10 weeks old to make sure meat is good. If you can do that then I'm keen to do business with you. Whack em in a wool sack and label them with date and area they were shot for traceability purposes and we will weigh them on pick up and pay you cash. PM me your phone number and I'll have a chat with you about the paperwork.

Would be neat if they had a drop off station running out of some hunting store drop what ya got and get some $$ for it, would be good way to teach the kids, but then there is over heads and blah blah blah...
Hey if anyone out in Auckland wanting extra shooter to help round up ...just work out my cut and I'm insky....

Need them intact because that's what the MAF rules say....bummer.

Game plan.... Survy has got a good point.... have you concidered looking into putting freezers in the local hunting shops where people can drop off smaller numbers to sell while they are getting amo etc. Thing it is also a great way to get the youngfellers keen on getting out there and shooting rabbits. then you could maybe do round trips to clean the freezers out every 10 weeks?????

Jesus! And I though the rabbits were thick down here. To get 30 an hour would mean they are around level 8-9 which is massive.....
