Available: Opportunity for someone to be involved

[stavross]

Right, here we go, I thought I’d put this up and see if there’s any interest

I’m in a position to offer someone the chance to spend some time with me ( you lucky lot ) I’ve taken people out for many years doing all manner of shooting from rabbits, foxes, deer, driven game etc. now over the past year or so most of these people have drifted away and I currently spend 99% of my time out on my own
What I would like is someone who is just starting out, hasn’t got anywhere to shoot, doesn’t currently have an FAC or SGC, or would just like a foot in the door that could lead to all different shooting adventures ( I don’t mind if you have any of these things, what I don’t want is some old timer like me who has been there and done it and wants to give me their opinion because not wanting to offend, but I don’t care )

It wouldn’t just be that you get to come shooting, it would be you get to come for a walk out with me, maybe a bit of shooting ( once we get to know each other) sometimes a hand up at the pheasant shoot I run, with little jobs and feeding birds etc etc

I’m in the Teesside area and have a lot of land to shoot over from Durham to Helmsley ( North Yorkshire) so I think this could be a good opportunity for someone with an interest in field sports, like all good relationships we’d take it slow, maybe an evening out once a week and we’ll see where it leads, if anyone is interested let me know, don’t be offended if you don’t get an invite and it would also help if you lived somewhere near me because I don’t do long distance relationships

Cheers
Stav

Good afternoon,

This sounds like a fantastic opportunity, and I’d be very interested in putting my name forward.

I have some experience with deer stalking and hold my DSC1 certification. Additionally, I take on paid stalks when finances allow.

At present, I don't have access to ground or permission, but I’ve been actively searching for opportunities, including shooting syndicates. I’ve also offered my services to several driven shoots and estates, assisting with prep work, though there have been no takers as of yet.

I’m based in Yorkshire, with family in the Helmsley area. If you feel I could be a good fit, I’d be keen to discuss further.

Kind regards
Sam

Hi Sam, thanks for the reply, what I’m really looking for is someone who lives in the Teesside area who I can ring on an afternoon and say “ do you want to go and shoot a few rabbits, this evening “ regarding the pheasant shoot, following our quick PM chat it’s my intention to invite you up later in the year firstly for an evening out so we can meet and if you like what you see there would be a days shooting on the flying chickens for you if that’s something you would be interested in

Oh amazing I will look forward to that!

Not a problem, I would have been upset had I not put my name forward, for such an amazing opportunity!

But I wish you the best of luck finding some lucky hunter to download some of your knowledge and experience!!

Hope you find the right person. There is great fun to be had with the right person im sure.

It’s hard enough finding anyone, never mind someone suitable, they don’t make them like you anymore, plenty of deer stalkers and game shooters, but I’m afraid we are a dying breed

Thanks mate , I think I know what you are saying.

 

[Hornet]

What a great offer, well done, hope you get the right person.

 

[fiolexis]

Fantastic offer - I'd have snapped your hand off if it were more local to me.

 

[stavross]

Well as of yet no one around here has shown any interest, how could you not want to be out in a place like this, I guess this isn’t for everyone but surely someone would rather be here than stuck in the house

 

[weblyish]

Mate what an offer can't believe you're not swamped

you're about 5h drove from me but I did consider throwing my name it

I’ve had a couple of people locally contact me, but both were only interested in the deer and that’s not what this is about ( and I knew one of them and I wouldn’t let him loose with a water pistol)

As I said earlier mate , finding a suitable person is difficult. I'm also out now again on my own , same as last night.

Hi stav,
Trying to send a personal message but it won’t allow me. Please can you send me one so I can reply.
Thanks Tommy

No, they aren’t interested, this isn’t a thing for anyone who just wants to be out pulling the trigger, this is probably for someone new to it, that’s happy going out to shoot a handful of rabbits or if someone wants a deer we’ll go and get them one, it’s just an opportunity that might get someone onto some different land and if they don’t have FAC could put them in a position to have one if that’s what they want
