Beaters/Pickers-Up Wanted - West Sussex

[wannabe_keeper]

Hi,

 

I run a small farm shoot in West Sussex.

We have 5 days this season shooting between 30-40 birds a day, all mini driven.

I am looking for additional beaters/picker ups.

 

Unfortunately we cannot afford to pay beaters however our last day is the 9th January.

After this we have 2 or 3 walk round days for the beaters who have been on 3 or more of the days.

These are really fun days and we often shoot as many as our driven days.

 

Bacon rolls in the morning, tea/coffee, biscuits, sloe gin, sausages at the end of the day (usually around 9am-1pm).

Good atmosphere and bunch of guys.

 

If anyone is interested please PM me for dates and more info.

 

Thanks.

Hi I know this post is old but wondering how to get a bit of use out of my spaniel, he’s trained to pick up he’s 17 months and done one days work so far. Any help much appreciated.

If you are on facebook search for the following groups.

Beaters & pickers up 

Jobs,beaters & pickers up 

Fieldsports for all 

Pop a post up on any of the above group pages with where you are located you're availability & experience of beating/picking up & I'm sure someone in your local area or a little bit further a field will be able to offer you something for the coming season or know of a shoot needing a beater/picker up.
