9 grand!!! You would need to get about £130 a beast to cover your inital cost,then you fuel,ammo,accomodation ect!!

Not had a tender before,but bu**er that!
 
Seems to be a loaded Tender.

Are you an organisation/company???? Guess who is winning this? I have no issue with BASC getting the tender for another 5 years, but this is really insulting my intelligence, and I dont have much.

If I was a naught boy I would hope they get ****ed just for trying to be smart.
 
I went last year and the guys on the ground do the best they can although if this is a profitmaking venture for BASC or not I cannot say. If they sold the stalking on on a no shoot no pay basis it could get interesting. We only saw 2 beasts during the 5 day trip and did not get to a shot (it had been too wet for the previous month and they were not showing, BASC could have informed us of this in advance but were just filling places). Not really a beef but heading in that way as I do not have the money to burn anymore.

Is this statement normal "Deer culled within the permission area by the permission holder will becomes the property of the FCS"

Surely that means that you are paying £9k + VAT for a year (Which by my calculations is closer to 7 months) with no chance of any sort of return?
