a serious question,

[Guest markbrick1]

its only a thought.............and not one of mine.i have a lot of land to hunt upon,with lots of rabbits pheasants and foxes,i have farmers phoning me all the time to control the rabbits,would people pay to ferret lamp and shoot,i for one wouldnt so like i say its not my thought its my son in laws i also have holiday lets,all hunting would be on land with permision and i must have 10,000 acres available,also as a bonus 200 yards from the lets theres a trout stream and 1 mile away there is some good sea fishing,but iam no fisherman but some are,what would one excpect to catch quantitys if they were paying for lamping and ferreting??????????????like i say its not my thought its his so per night with accomadation and hunting,i know i will get some stick here but what the feck i am used to that, but being from the north west we arnt all as lucky as me down here in cornwall,so come on give me are him some ideas,catch nu,price etc of coarse own dogs ferrets and guns,there isnt many places that do this around the uk to help the lurcher and terrier enthusiastic person,mark

it would depend on what the person wanted to do ... some may only want to fish so go and get some sea fishing trip prices and under cut them ... some may only want a days ferreting and if so will need a guide to show them the best places at each time of year so what is your price for being out and working all day ... same as lamping really ... you will need to set up runs and ferret hutches and would have to leave your own dogs and ferrets at home as people paying will want to watch their own animals work ... some may want a full weekend package fishing lamping and ferreting so you will have to work out a price package for that ... then there is the insurance side of things as you will be taking these people out so you will need cover for that ... you obviously know how much you charge for the holiday lets and that will have to go on top .... the bottom line is you or whoever will be out with these people either all day or all night and will have to make sure they get the game they are after ... you may even have to supply the transport as most people will turn up in the family car so you will need to add in the fuel costs .... it could be a good earner if the costs are worked out carefully and is packaged and advertised correctly .........

i couldnt agree more,but at the moment we rent all the holiday lets out on a full time basis,my son in law has passed this by me a couple of times and ive shunned it,but what else do i do i cant see me laying bricks again it pisses me of i spend all my time with the dogs,and on this computer,i wouldnt want to charge are include sea fishin trips as its not my forte i go out and enjoy that and a slight swell iam sick plus i love the snorkling bit,but what would be a good catch rate are runing rate how many rabbits would one want to lamp?????????are ferret,i would also insist more on the single person are family not groups of blokes,i rent the lets out at the moment from £525 per month

[Guest markbrick1]

depends if you can gaurantee the quarry will be there .For example if one is after foxes how can you gaurantee they will be around on the day or night in question mark?

well we all know that inposible but i can say we have a lot of foxes and rabbits

mark you only charge £525 per month for a holliday cottage ... feck me thats cheap as chips ... how much do you charge for a weekend break ... i could do with taking my missus away for a little break ........

[dogs-n-natives 1,182]

Sounds ok, ive just come back from a sea fishing break in scotland, if I could have stayed at a place where I could also go hunting with the lurcher/dogs then I probably would have. Duno about what you could charge, I would not pay much. But you would benefit from extra custom in the winter months, wouldnt you? At perhaps, a higher rent ??

Are you talking just lurchers, or would there be work for other dogs (terriers/spaniels etc..).

i go up Scotland every year on a lads holiday ...dad.. granddad ..uncles...ect and we pay so i think its a great idea..

we rent a cottage out for a week and find our land and go hunting all day every day its great..

i for one would use this if there was good accommodation..

but if you was to do this i would be careful as to who you let up on your land..

we went one year and some young lads had been there the week before and just killed everything in sight..

when we arrived this particular year we had nothing wasn't aloud on anywhere...

now winning the keepers trust and not touching things we wernt aloud to its back on track but good luck with that idea....keep me posted and what region are you in?
