dodeer Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Beating £15-£35 a day. Work it out, you might be able to stay alive on that but if you have any bills to pay then I doubt it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune82 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Even if you own a shoot you still dont make much. A mate is a keeper on a large commercial estate in SW Scotland. They only get returns of about 30% on what they put down and the last 2 seasons have just broke even. They charge £40 a bird driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
