The Sniper Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Wol, Are these guests purely going to accompany you or will they be using your firearms and shotguns ? I ask because it is still debated on here, if only the landowner or the landowner and the person with sporting rights can accompany a guest and use their firearms/shotguns. I am all for teaching youngsters about the great outdoors, but I would hate to think that you became the test case in a court of law.

ChrisNicholls Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Take the kids out free, no charge for, say, under 16's. Charge the adults the going rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wol the hunter Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Take the kids out free, no charge for, say, under 16's. Charge the adults the going rate. this is the best suggestion so far.im thincking under 16 must have someone over 21 with them from there family.the day will start with rules and regs then ill take them for a 2 hour walk upto a small lake where we will do a bit of mooch fishing then we will go back to truck for lunch.after we will smoke some rats out and watch dog at work then a bit of roost shooting all this £80. nifty for me and 30 for farmer.ill take loads of digital photos and send to kid,hows that sound?

Cranfield Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I wouldn't pay £80 for anything that involved a 2 hour walk. :thumbs: Seriously, the programme you suggest isn't worth that amount of money. You can fish all day on most commercial lakes for under £10. Watching rats getting smoked out is not everyones idea of participating sport. Roost shooting lasts less than 3 hours if you are lucky, sometimes its less than 2 hours. I would suggest that you put up some permanent hides on good crop fields and rent out the pigeon shooting on a guided basis. Treat the fishing lake as a seperate enterprise. You set everyone up at the beginning of the day and just monitor them the rest of the time. Also be aware you have to have some sort of clearance, to deal with children below a certain age.
