payment for stalking

badshot

farmer offered to pay me to cull some deer for him
told him id be delighted to do it for nothing
i was just wondering do any of you guys
get paid for shooting deer
sorry if this is a stupid question

Don't get paid myself. I'm happy to get the permissions and my fox control and occassional day helping them during the off season keeps them happy.

He must be plagued with Deer. Fair play to you for not taking the payment. I'm not saying anything about anyone one who does get paid more power to ya, but if its doing the land owner a favour and you're getting deer out of it i'd say thats a happy medium between the two.

Well I am happy that I got plenty of Dinners and even once got his son to drive down the fields to collect a pricket and me so i did not have to drag him a mile back to the wagon.

not only do i not get paid for it but i would drive the length of the country for a good stalk..:D

i do find that most farmers are only to happy to have you shooting their land for them.

its nice to get a big salute and a big how did you get on today any luck. thats usually payment enough.;)

I've been shooting for a while now, mad to get into deer stalking lately. Unfortunately not many deer around my area, so hard to get permission.Wouldn't mind travelling, but still don't know any farmers away. I would offer farmer some money just to get the permission to be honest with you, rather than getting paid...What I'm trying to say hare man, you are so lucky to be in the position you are:)

A farmer offering to pay you money to shoot deer is like having a super model ask to pay you for sex!! you couldnt accept it, the BRAGGING right are much more important....!

It wasn't me!

Lot of farmers around me are revoking all permissions and putting their lands to tender, so the idea of being paid to stalk is just incredible to me. I'll second the supermodel shagging offer comparison above.

I'd be happy if only one of those things happened to me

Don't shoot deer, but get the odd few quid for knocking over red lads. Which doesn't get refused as it helps offset costs.

No shortage of lads shooting here, but very few are bothered about catering for specific problems.

Declined a bit of cash tonight for shooting a few stray dogs that had taken up residence on a neighbours farm and were starting to chase his calves...
I often try for a few phezzies and ducks on his land so the way I looked at it I was just returning a favour

I gave my permission a tow today, he has combining and needed the header drawn from one end of the field to the combine.

Then I gave him 5 Muffins for his wife and family and shot a few birds for him.

It's an Honest ta god Country barter system

i never paid for deer permissions before and i have shot plenty. all i do is rotate threw all the permissions so as not to over do one area.
when i find a new area that looks good i ask for permission that way my stalking is constantly evolving.

this year is the first year i have joint a coilte let and i am hoping it is worth the money otherwise i wont be back on it next year.

before anyone says anything by worth it i mean i am looking for new challenging stalking to complement my existing stalking.

I hope things never go the same for you as they're going up here. Farmers are revoking all previous permissions and letting their lands go to tender for the sporting rights. Signs are going up everywhere. Might be the last year to get good free stalking for me, so may have to take a let next year. However, if you're talking about Dwighet's let outside Killarney, I wouldn't worry. I don't think you'll ever get bored of stalking it. Like the man himself says, it'll take you a long time just to learn it.

Paddy the farmer can have woodland too you know.

I have several areas of conifer and broadleaf woodland stalking belonging to farmers.

I'm sure Paulo may have too.
I am asked to shoot bucks because of the damage they do to young trees which causes the tree to fork and become useless for logging

Although the farmer calls them Stags

steak dinners indeed, not to worry D. I will be stalking with Paulo in Kerry this year and Tipp and Paulo will be stalking with me in the midlands.

I have the week off work. I never did the HCAP, but I am sure I'll muddle through.

I treked many mountain ranges in Eire with 40kg on my back, I'm sure kerry will be challenging, but not over the top.
