Game meat for sale in S.W. Ontario?

[jeffcarr88]

Hey CGN,

I get asked a lot because I am a "hunter" if I know where people can buy game meat in the S.W. Ontario (London) area. I do hunt...but not enough!!! So what little I do get is eaten by me and my close friends/family only.

Know any places I can point them towards?

Mostly looking for rabbit, grouse, pheasant...game birds in general...as deer if possible?

Much thanks,

- J

Yeah. You get them on crown land. It's a simple process. OHEC and CFSC over the weekend, requisite licenses and proper firearms, and have at 'er like the rest of us!

Pretty sure it's illegal to sell wild game meat.

If someone wants to "buy" game meat, they will have to do so from a farm which raises those animals or birds.

To buy? No, illegal!
I do believe that you can file some paperwork if someone gives some to you

There was a company out of Montreal that supplied farm raised 'game' meat to restaurants, but I don't have the info handy. As others have mentioned, wild game can't be sold.

I have a client near Guelph who runs a rabbit farm. PM me if you want their info.

Nicholyn Farms just north of Barrie has Elk, Venison and sometimes Bison

I bought some elk and bison steak from them last summer. Pricey but good. As for the rest, however, it is illegal to sell fish and game meat/parts in Ontario. Meat from wild game farms is legal, though.

Sorry...let me clarify...not "wild" game, but they are looking to eat what COULD be hunted and what is not your "standard" farm animals. So rabbit farms and other game farms is what i am after.

Thanks

Farmer's markets usually have a pretty good selection of different stuff. Elk, deer, bison, osterich, pheasants, ducks, geese.

I love elk pepperettes!

Check out the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. 2 or 3 of the butchers have pretty much any type of game meat you could want. From venison and rabbit to kangaroo, emu and even camel. I've seen it all there.

I've never had camel meat. The farthest I ever got on it was the toe.

Some Indian reserves will sell wild game and fish. We have one in our area. I'd rather get it the old fashioned way though.

I'm fairly certain that is only legal as long as you don't get caught

If it's illegal, then nobody's enforcing it. They have several areas in town you can purchase Lake Nipissing walleye also.
