Lord Geordie Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I chose to OFFER free beating to gain shooting on an estate local to me. I never thought I would enjoy the beating so much. I beat every saturday for the season and was given shooting on keepers days as well as vermin shooting. Eventually the keeper went bankrupt and I lost my shoot but I would have no hesitation to do it again. This is not only a good offer but a fantastic oppertunity for someone to broaden their horizons. A fantastic offer! Hats off to you Sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay I have just written a very negative post, then thought better of it. But I will say I hope once they have found the 'right' person then they will see fit to pay him for his days beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say I hope once they have found the 'right' person then they will see fit to pay him for his days beating. why not let the market decide? I predict that he will have his offer snapped up, and I doubt most beaters do it for the money that's just a token. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper Bopper Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay I have just written a very negative post, then thought better of it. But I will say I hope once they have found the 'right' person then they will see fit to pay him for his days beating. IMO free beating in return for new permission is just fine. I only wished i lived a bit nearer as i would defo commit to an offer like this. Best of luck to all those people trying to be the 'right' one HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say I hope once they have found the 'right' person then they will see fit to pay him for his days beating. If I were closer I'd love to snap up the offer with the beating days included free! great offer to have especially as some like myself are finding it hard to get permissions. Especially as shotgun permission etc will come later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterside Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Scolopax What's your gripe? This is a good solid offer with other benefits. Which would be revealed To the right candidate. A lot of shoots have this kind of arrangement. I can tell you now finding permissions in notts is very difficult so I'm simply offering someone and olive branch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED BEARD Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 sounds a nice genuine offer,well done waterside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I realise I should not be knocking the post, after all it is a genuine offer and is an opportunity for someone to get some vermin shooting, but... My gripe, which I suppose it is, is that the offer is for what you (okay I) would realistically expect as perks from a decent keeper and still get paid for the beating. My advice, go beating, enjoy it, try and build up a good relationship with the keeper, help him out during the off season if you have time (v. important that one). You may very well get alot out of it. Good beaters are hard to get, and keepers know that, and tend to look after them once they have found them.

waterside Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 You might be in a fortunate position where you have permissions and are able to beat as and when you like, I would say there are plenty of people who would love to go beating yet haven't toot the connections or the info where to start, I'd also say just because you go beating does not mean you will be allowed on the land keepers have there regulars and are very reluctant to grant permission. This is an opportunity for someone to get in the inner circuit. I have a keeper that has been on the estate for 30 yrs full time, the knowledge, opportunities and experience for someone who is generally interested in game and conservation is priceless. I don't see to many other posts offering permission at all?! Thanks again for all those interested I will be looking at all parties early next week.

-Mongrel- Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Fantastic offer which I'm pretty sure that most people struggling for permissions would jump at. I certainly would if it was local to me! Good on yo Waterside to offer it, ignore the knockers mate, nobody's forcing people to PM you.
