  1. So just the other day I received a call from a friend inviting me to go pigeon shooting with him after the farmer had called him saying there were too many pigeons around. He always comments on how he shoots and 100+ bags each time he goes out so after arranging a time and day I took him up on the offer. On the way to the ground he said he always buys the gamekeeper a drink to keep him sweet which I thought was fair enough. After a day in the hide with him and only 30 pigeons later we packed up and went to see the keeper. After a bit of chit chat my mate took his wallet out and gave the keeper some money before we bid our farewell. On the drive back he states that he’s given the keeper £100 so I now owe him £50. I was absolutely fine for buying the keeper a drink - I think it’s a decent thing to do, but there’s a fair difference between a drink and £100. Now I know a lot of people pay for shooting, it’s quite a normal thing nowadays. However, is it really the done thing to invite someone shooting - then after the fact ask them to pay when there was no mention of that in the invite? After all if I knew I had to pay I wouldn’t have gone as I really can’t afford luxuries like that at the moment. How should I approach the matter? Should I just give him the £50 but make a point of it for future? Or should I raise it with him that it was an invite and no mention of paying was made before? any advice would really help!
