    Yes.

    So how the **** are you supporting a shoot when you expect your deposit back when a shoot as outlaid tens of thousands and come the season we are still in the same position????? Who is giving the Shoot their money back????  But your keeping a keeper in a job but bankrupting a shoot. All shots need guns like yourself

    Personally I feel I need to show support where shoots have decided to keep going. All the shoots I book on are commercial shoots not syndicates and I have dealt with the organiser for a number of years and trust his word that deposits will be repaid if things force a close down.  I risk I am willing to take to hoepfully show shoots it is worth carrying on and most and more importantly keep their Game Keeper/s in a job.

    That’s all well and good your going to get your deposit back! If it comes October and we still have in place social distancing our we have a second wave of this virus?? You get your deposit back is that supporting shoots???? All the work and cost that goes into the season to be lost would you have the balls to go a head this season.

    Your a **** there you proved wrong

    I get it’s expensive when buying poults let etc feeds and all the joys that go with it let me worry about that this is a market research post to find out what the market is like in the area, its not exactly renowned pheasant ground so im not expecting days to sell as easy as they do in North Yorkshire so i want a feel from local people what they are willing to pay and what they would expect in return so all you wanna be’s can wind your neck in and keep pointless thread bashin posts to your selfs

    I’m not a wanna be I’ve got two shoots myself and your figures tell me you haven’t done your home work mate. 
    You need £27 a bird just to break even.And that’s not keepered

    You need to look at your figures mate. 
    10x 120 bird days at £1500??????

    Not possible to do unless you are willing to loss a lot of money. 
    At a 40% return you would need 3000 birds if you buy poults that’s 10k

    Feed to get them ready to shoot at 20 weeks is another £4.500 pellets for 3000 birds will cost £3200 to get them to 14 weeks. 
    To achieve 40% you will need good cover crops, good woodland and cover crops are about £500 an acre to put in then they have to be fenced. 
    then you will need to buy all the feeders, drinkers, all the fencing for your pens, electric fencing. You will have no change from 25k and that’s not paying rent. 
    Then you need all the beaters and picker ups hospitality on the day the cost just go’s on.

    GOOD LUCK in finding some beaters for Saturday , you often see beating wanted on the forum and when somebody like yourself offer a few days there is nobody to be seen , I have had a full life of good shooting which all stems from taking the odd day off from work and helping the local shoot out , come on gents help the man out ,  All the best MM

    No help mate from PW I’ve managed 3 from Facebook. I think people just want shooting permission to come to them???

    I would imagine that they had lunch in the long room at Chatsworth served by liveried servants with the Duke of Devonshire sitting at the head of the table.

    It was just a question! As with are shoot we pride are selves on the day not just the shooting,  I’ve have been invited to chatsworth house on two occasions but did not have time to stop.

    Where are you?  I am sure there are dairy farmers close by who would give their right arm for some cheap maize silage.

    If it is going to stay, then as said above drive through it and knock some rides down. Personally I would just drive in circles and maybe  knock down one straight 'ride' where you can position a few stops.  Let the dogs have fun.   Hope it works out for you.

    I would second this as maize is selling in my area at £450 acre so it will not be there long. Just make sore they leave the blocks you put in place to be left.
