Beaters wages

[teyhan1]

Can I get an average of beaters wages this year?
The owner of the shoot who is the biggest to$$er ever has decided that the wages will go down this year to £25

 

[The Croc]

Go down!! that's as high as we've got

 

[6.5rem700]

the beaters around here get anything from
£0 and a lunch ,to £30 and a drop of soup at lunch
​depends on what type of shoot there on

 

[fangler]

That's not a bad wage! Better than around here!

 

[unicorn71]

Just got in from picking up £25 plus a couple of braces.

 

[White Hart]

Are we referring to a wage or a gift from the guns?!? Careful of the man in the bowler hat...

 

[Stacey]

My beaters get £30 a day plus as many pheasants as they like, also free shooting in January.

[375 mag]

My mate gets £30 a day plus 2 days shooting end of season

 

[Willie]

Just back from beating on the pheasants and was paid £40. Get the same on the grouse.

Remember and tell the tax man!

 

[Deerstalkermark]

We get coffee/tea a sausage roll and cake at half time and a fantastic 3 course meal at the end of the day + a brace or two depending on the bag. No money though.

Local estate pays 20 quid and has done for last ten years I'd say your lucky to be getting 25

 

[bogtrotter]

Between £30 and £40 on estates round here £50 on the Grouse moors.

 

[Fireman sam]

25 for me picking up and a pie at lunch time, that's using my truck and working 2 dogs

 

[liddlesdale]

Get yourself couple of dogs, I get £45 to £70 depending on estate picking up , soup and use of estate landrover.

 

[norma 308]

My beaters get a tenner plenty of food and drink soup pasties and birds if they want .also beaters day a walk round on the 1st feb and as many fallow and muntjac as they can shoot

I think it's about time for a national strike by all beaters.
It's bloody disgusting that they think that because we love the sport they can take the pi$$.
She says she can get as many beaters as she likes from the syndicate she's in. Honestly, f**k her, it's not that much of a shoot and I just do it as my best friends the keeper and I don't need the money.

 

[shotguntom]

I do it for free on some shoots as a favour, on another £25 plus a brace.

It is what it is, not a form of employment.

 

[tikka22250]

first 10 on the list get £15 and a brace and last day of the season, picking up is £20.

 

[ziggyfiley]

We get between 35 and 45 pound around here. One grouse moor I know are paying 80 quid and the tax for picking up.
