Doggone Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 christ its 20 quid not the holy grail i dont have to share anything with anyone but i felt that a nominal sum or 20 pound would keep time wasters and the wrong sort away and give decent folk a chance to have some sport safely aswell as me been new to the area i thought it would be a good way of meeting lads local and maybe gets some trustworthy sorts for beating and stuff but im have been put of by the negative post and are simply gonna call it off it could have let to alot more for the right sort of local lads so 20 quid int that much really was it my old head keeper was right do everthing your self and never ask for any help well because of the morons on here have spoilt it for a lot of others Sorry but allowing the shooting of any ground game in a wood with people all over the place isn't what I'd call 'safely' I'd want danger money to be in that wood.

Andy I take it you've never been on a vermin day or fox drive then? Both involve shooting ground game hence you keep in a line and only use trusted safe guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on plenty of such squirrel days, never shot ground game though. Never been charged to do the work for the keeper either. Such days are usually a thankyou to the beaters for work done. He doesn't have a beating team with the job? not likely to get one either carrying on like that. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcliff Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Alright PW morons... I've PMd keepastew twice now and he's not replying because of all these sarcastic comments. If you're not in the area (York) this offer doesn't concern you. I'd love to make an alliance with a local keeper - there are a number of mutual benefits, and I'd like to meet up with Keepastew regardless of the £20 squirrel cull. This thread is filed with comments from people that this offer doesn't even concern which has spoilt the chances for those that it does. keepastew want's to meet local fellow sportsmen - let him do that how he sees fit. If us York lads don't want to pay for a squirrel shoot then our silence will speak loud enough. Stew, hope to bump into you one day.

SSS Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 DC, with all due respect, pull your tongue out of his ****! Why does he post with no mention on a public forum if he only wants to ask york members, maybe he should have mentioned something about that on his first post. In my opinion, he has gone about this all wrong. Asking people to pay for something that a gamekeeper is expected to do as part of his job.

Wesman Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 PW morons? That's a bit weird. I initially thought it was a great offer but thinking about it, and going out lamping with albob the other night, I wouldn't take up the offer. Hopefully I can repay Al in the future by inviting him onto my land when I get some. I think if keepastew wouldve come on and said he wants to meet some decent local lads to help him out he'd have got a positive response on here and probably got a fair few drinks out of it.

Silhouette Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Exactly! This goes back to what I was saying before. It should have been worded differently and all this Wheat and Chaff nonsense should never have been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclemicky Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Come on guys , was Stew's original post that offensive or poorly written that WE here on Pigeon watch could not have made a better first impression , who knows where the offer could have lead for those who have no permission , time and time again threads descend into a slanging match when there is no need , anyway Stew I hope you find some decent lads to help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
