Available: Grouse.

[RED-DOT]

I have been controlling vermin on a moorland in Central Scotland for 8 years and there is a healthy grouse population on there now. Looking for two helpers to take some interest in developing it into a good walked up shoot. Some 400 acres of wild heather and 100 of arable farmland edging on to forestry block which have roe spilling over on to the land. I have been offered crazy money to let it out to foreign guns but would rather have some sport first for a few years. Get back via PM with your suggestions please?
R-D.

[AN DU RU FOX]

pity, its a good offer just googled it three and a half hrs for me

 

[Gazza]

Out of interest how many grouse make up a healthy population on 400 acres? How many would you intend to shoot?

 

[RED-DOT]

I will do a count in June/July and the amount shot doesn't matter as long as my walking line has a good day out.
A few brace to each gun will do me and i won't get stressed if it takes a year or two.

Great offer.

I pm'd you this morning r.d

 

[davidm]

Don't understand what you want a few guns to shoot it or a few guns to look after it till you sell it to overseas? Name a price for a syndicate? Or just let everyone second guess. I think your more interested in what everyone else has rather than offer a place!

OK David, i want four experienced game shooters to have maybe 4-6 walked up days this season. Good fun and company and a dram or two after. Must live locally to check traps and snares but as i say this year will be getting to know the ground and work together to control vermin injurous to ground nesting birds and follow it up with actions. No money needs change hands even though my grouse keeper has offered me ££££thousand to sub let via him for foreigners to shoot over the ground. This land has had zero disturbance and is a true untouched landscape. I am after NO money but hope we all get a slice of something very rare and special.

Fair comment. Too much money involved in the sport and not enough of 'for the love of it' these days.

 

[Rake Aboot]

jeez. If I was close enough to be off help to you I would bite yer hand off for an opportunity like this.

Well done for what sounds like a great offer.

So close, and yet so far,, buggers

Walked it today and there is a healthy brood stock all sitting tight on nests of 8-10.

Would be more than happy to help you with vermin control, i work offshore so might not be around in the grouse season, but just getting out and keeping the foxes down would be great, and any other vermin you want removed
sent you a pm with my number , did you get it ???? If not will send again
cheers
