Guest little_lloyd Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 On the local estate is twenty five quid!! Ive been paid thirty before along with a brace of pheasnts and a brace of partridges. The smaller shoots just give you a brace of birds!! Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Always fancied doing a bit of beating. A few mates used to go when we were in school, but I never got round to doing it. Would like to give it a go. Does anybody know where there are any shoots in the Pembrokeshire area? Quote Link to post
alimac 882 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 nearlly all the shoots around here are 25 plus lunch , although one is 30 this year.... i know in yorkshire some shoots are 45 for the day.. it wont be long till its minimum wage, estates and lairds have been getting away with it for to long.... there was a guy down near perth that took the shoot he went on to court and won 700 notes as he said he was paid less than the minimum wage Quote Link to post
outshooting 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) If as Alimac says beaters start to demand a price the smaller shoots will disappear people will normally ask to join a line on your shoot & will be made aware of the days pay, nobody is forced to do it, but thats not to say beaters are not a valuable part of the shoot because they are & i myself love to join the beaters.If we are doing driven shoots the beaters get £20 for the day plus a bird each & lunch, i normally have around 15 days in the season if the beater attends 6 or more shoots he or she can attend the beaters free shoot day towards the end of the season, what i have found recently is that more people want to do walked up shoots with a couple of drives, but without beaters & pickers up there would be no shoots so they are worth every penny spent, & there is nothing better than being in the line having a good laugh in good company & watching the birds gliding over the tree line, long may it last Edited November 21, 2007 by outshooting Quote Link to post
