Beaters Wages

[East coast 2]

Whats the going rate for beaters this year, last 2 years they been paying 30 pound, just looking to see whats being payed?

[roebuck220 80]

£30 partridge £50 grouse.

[stando 177]

We pay £30 aswell,and a brekfast roll !!

[Lab 10,979]

£25 and soup, and pie and beans last season. Hopefully its £30 this year......i wont hold my breath. I think most shoots should be £30 pound, its not much to ask for someone with a dog, price of petrol to get there and especially these people who use holidays to come beating/picking up....

Don't get paid at the small syndicates I go to. However, we often get a brace and a pint or twi afterwards. Can't wait!!

[Born Hunter 17,751]

£15 for newbies and £20 for second season/regulars plus roast meat cobs or stew at the end of the day and drink, pork pie/sausage roles and cake after the third drive and usually a few brace of duck or pheasant.

 

I dont think it would hurt to knock the wages up mind! lol. We bloody earn it!

[danw 1,748]

£25 for a beater £30 for a picker up plus stew and a roll at dinner and beer or cold can,cake and coffee at the finish and 2 bottles of port thrown in the beaters trucks.

 

they all get to take as much game from the larder after the count as they wish

I used to let them do that too mate. I'd rather they took the game away than give to the game dealer for the pittance they pay for it....

[2434me 13]

£20 beaters £25 picker-ups and a sit down cooked lunch. 3rd drive coffee and cake.At the end of the day they can take as much game as they want.

 

Same as lab and dan,

I would rather give them away than sell them for 20p !

Okay, Well they where getting 30 and soup and roll at lunch and will be coffee in morning for them, plus a keepers day and cooked meal after. Looks like 30 pound is na bad from what can see. Cheers

On mine they get £15, food and drinks through out the day, and i buy the first round in the pub. Not much by what everyone else is paying, but theyre all local lads and they do it (a). because they enjoy it and ( Because theyre my mates and like to help out. Infact theres some who refuse money and say keep it for next years birds. Cant get better than that

I like going out beating for the craic and exercise for the dog(and me) but they insist on feeding me bacon sarnies for breakfast, sarnies with chips and a bowl of broth for lunch, then a couple of pints at the end of the day and £30 for my trouble.
