Bds stalkers award

Not really for me to answer CB, by maybe UKSHA feel that charging might put people off calling them if the **** hits the fan.....

given the the sometimes difficult emotions involved in admitting to making a mistake they might feel it better to not place any potential financial disincentive in the way??

Fair play to u george and ur members but not every body can afford to do that. And don't see why u should have too, It brillaint wot ur doing but it should not cost u money.

I see no reason u should not be paid for ur time and effort and knowledge.
Is it really any different to working ur dogs on a shoot and i expect to be paid for doing that (and usually moan not paid enough ).

In my opinion u should atleast be getting desiel/travel expenses but would have no problem paying ur time either and think u deserve it.
Don't see why others should subsidise my hobby or my **** ups and esp so if working for pro stalkers taking clients out. If i need a properly trained tracking hound i should be paying for the privaledge, may make me think about taking a similar shot in the future
But this is off the topic

I agree that they deserve something for their time and effort,but im presuming they are thinking more for the welfare of the deer as im pretty sure if a free service turned in to a paid service call outs would reduce in numbers.
