Outdoorsman Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hi all, Im looking for a days shooting either pheasant or pheasant and partridge or even a mixed day, all either driven or walked up I’ll consider anything within 2-3 hours drive of SR8, if anybody knows of anything or needs an extra gun for a driven day let me know. Im not looking to spend thousands just to be clear. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Used to get some good affordable days off guns on pegs but last few years there all far too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Punch in 'Affordable Days'.... Richard Gray has a few guns on days throughout this season and I have shot with his operation for four years now and he works very hard to see you have a good time. I am shooting with him this next week at Grimsthorpe on a small day. He is on Guns on Pegs as well. All of his areas are in Linconshire so easy access from London and there are one or two overnight spots I can recommend.

Many Estates are now refusing to put on less than 150 birds and I agree it gets expensive. Richard Gray at Affordable Days has come across this problem but he has worked hard and found a few sensible priced days. OK, I fully apprciate it cost as much to hire beaters for 80 to 100 bird days as for 150 bird, but some estates manage to do it. Had a superb day at Catton estate last week, 8 guns fully driven partridge £320 based on 80 birds ... we shot 90 and saw a lot of birds and had to be a bit picky.

figgy Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 The best days I went on were the stand one beat one organized by the keepers. No beaters to pay, just split into two teams and and had good days sport on some nice estates. They all seem to have gone and only commercial days now. Some good cheap days were around £25.00 per bird in four or five years it's doubled. As you say estates have put bigger days on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
