All
I am looking at letting some of my permissions to syndicate rifles. There are a few blocks and below is some detail to try and answer some questions.
Land is available in Scotland and is within 30 mins of Glasgow.
Blocks vary between 150 acres and 1000 acres.
All game is included, Hare, Game Birds, woodcock, wildfowl (some area's have lakes) DEER of course.
Cost, Rather than go for Max guns i only at present want to cover costs, land costs around £5 an acre to lease therefore a 1000 acre block with 5 rifles on it would cost each rifle £1000 per year, THESE ARE NOT LAMPED OUT FC BLOCKS they are private investment woodlands.
I will not put more than 5 rifles on a 1000 acre block and ask that all people book on and off, and respect that every rifle has an equal right for stalking, sharing the prime rut times etc....
The smaller say 150 acre blocks would suit one rifle for exclusive use, one of these blocks produced 9 roe and one red stag last year.
All that you shoot belongs to you.
People without DSC level one can be a syndicate rifle as long as they have one accompanied stalk with us, demonstrate good practice and undertake to complete the level one in the first year.
The rifles have a duty to stalk and cull, timber crop protection comes first.
How to justify to yourself
When you are paying on average £150 per day for stalking plus trophy fee's you are looking at a min of £200 per day, have paid stalking for more than 5 days per year then it is wise to get a syndicate rifle slot as you are at break even.
Now i know i may get some flak from the people who get land for three and sixpence, make the most of it you will be surprised when it gets re tendered !
Still interested, then send me a PM and i will put you on the list for all the details to be sent to you so please provide your e mail.
