larp Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yes it is a bit soon but I'm looking for someone to come picking up for me on two shoots. They will be mostly on Thursdays or Mondays and they will be about 100 bird days. So far I have 9 days booked. The shoots are in Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire border but you will need your own transport. There might even be a place on my Saturday shoot as well if I'm let down again this season. Also there might be a few spaces available for beaters with good working dogs. PM me if interested. Will respond to first come first served.

The Duncan Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking to get into beating, but sadly no dog (thats of any use, bar security and ratting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie1967 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi,i'm new to this site,i joined in the hope of finding picking up work for me and my team of Springers,and maybe some beating for my son,we spent a good few years working on a large shoot in North Yorks,this sounds ideal but sadly it's a little too far to come,but thanks for offering me and all decent experinced pickers up the oppurtunity to join you,someone should snatch your hand off!!

BLAZE33 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi highseas sorry for the delay in replying,i'm in Barnsley S.yorks. Hi stevie, i`m just down the road at wath on dearne, and I pick up and the missus goes beating with our team of spaniels on one of the local wentworth shoots. Can keep my ears open and drop you a line if any of the keepers need anyone. I know that this coming season, there will be a few more tuesday shoots, and we always struggle for beaters/ pickers up due to work commitments. regards blaze33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
