Mice! Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 your doing well if you've got rabbits to shoot never mind getting paid as well, unless your a pest controller and its your job. I've only shot on one golf course, i did get asked if i wanted my ammo paying for but said no thanks just happy to have permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have a deal with a local butcher for each one shot (if it's of a decent enough size). If they're asking you then all the better. Work out how much ammo you're likely to use and double it. Charge them that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 If it were me I'd tell them vermin are generally shot by enthusiasts for the favour of being allowed on the land, it'd be different if the place was overrun and had to have several nights intensive lamping or something. You never know what that might lead to with other permissions to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartyboy Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I was offered payment on a regular basis on one of my golf courses. I declined it as it would cause issues with the insurance I had. My insurance covered shooting as a hobby or past time activity, not as a paid job. Sure there's other ways the club. Can show their appreciation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Shredder. Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have a golf course permission and am very grateful for it, when l first acquired it l asked what they wanted shooting and what they didn't. Shoot rabbits, squizzers, magpies, rats, muntjack, fox, canada geese, pheasant and duck when in season, but don't shoot the hares ok, why not the hares l ask, because the members like to see them running about, fair enough. Plus the bird life is fantastic when your laid up waiting for a shot with too many species to name. l can sit there for hours without a care in the world, charge them l don't think so. The only bugbear is those idiots who turn up to wack a ball about at silly o'clock in the morning when you're having a good session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 An occasional pint in the 19th would be payment enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can show their appreciation though This. Be careful accepting any payment if you're insured through one of the sporting organisations. It will invalidate your insurance. There likely other ways for getting rewarded or, as I do, simply look at it as reward enough for having somewhere to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
