One man did, for only a few quid, but, for about 6 month he got deliveries from every fast food outlet in the area along with taxis and new window cleaners turning up to give him quotes. Don't think he could get a taxi or any food delivered for months after that, I know he got plenty of earche from his missus though yes I got paid eventually. 2 Quote Link to post

Docleo 3 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I had the misfortune to book with them a 3 days pigeon shooting break FROM OVERSEAS for a 6 guns party in spring few years back. Result: less than 90 birds in total 120£ a day per gun but hey, the carts went for free (not the gun hire though).... now I live in Scotland and try to shoot pigeon on my own Sometimes you have to pay to learn, right? 1 Quote Link to post

You have no idea of how much keen oversea shooters pay for pigeons. I'd say usually 120 -150 per (fully guided) day plus gun hire (20-30 per day).... it is a huge business... ah, and everything paid on arrival, no exeptions 1 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Got to blame those doing the booking as well .Where' there demand there' supply just don' book simples 1 Quote Link to post
Docleo 3 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think no one is happy paying for shooting pigeons but unfortunately sometimes is the only way. I'm struggling getting permission even now (live in Scotland), from overseas it is almost impossible. Sadly, don't know many like leslie here who offers to shoot on his perms.... 1 Quote Link to post
