Tendure price

[redlab]

Answers not looking so daft now is it,thanks norma,w/g,pob,762scot,

Other than his opening point STATES that there is a population of deer not that he has been 'told there are deer'
two very different statements from which you could assume that he has at least some knowledge of the ground....so tip ur hat all day long but read the post first anyway I'm sure he has enough info now to make a decision.

Anyway......an du ru.... If you are ever up my neck of the woods and have a rifle - Inverness-shire drop me a message I'm luckier than some as I have ground with red,roe and sika that we could go out on.

I would say 800-1000

FC ground costs approximately £100/deer for roe. Not sure what the going rate for fallow or reds but I suspect it would be more.

I think the main consideration is how far it is from home. £10-£20 on road fuel every trip would knock the shine off it. If locals know you are that far away, they might take advantage of it.

Ten deer a year £500 plus a well dressed carcass for the owner bottle at Xmas always goes down well

 

[Cut+Squirt]

I can't believe some of the prices quoted. . . It's the size of a face cloth.

Hi chaps just wondering what people would pay as a yearly tendure fee for a 180 acre wood? -small population of fallow and roe and muntjack having been heavily controlled. I know its a bit hyperthetical but am intrested to see what people would think was reasonable. I would think you'd shoot 10 a year. It's in shropshire

11 years I have lived here. Fallow Roe and muntjac 180 acres. Nice, just watch your panties!

 

[bogtrotter]

It's worth whatever you are prepared to pay, some talk of so much per acre and some of so much per beast,
Knowing the acreage will, give you an idea of the potential, and along with knowing what has been culled in the past will give an idea of what returns you can expect either in venison for your own use or carcasses to sell.

What it does not do is put a value on the fact that it will be exclusive to you, the exclusive right to shoot a piece of land will always come at a premium, to come and go when you choose , to choose what to shoot and how many,how do you put a value on that, what is that exclusive right worth to you.

On the down side 180 acres is not very big, and will not take you long to walk round.

Some things to consider

Are the deer transient or resident, 180 acres is not a lot of ground to support three different species of deer.

What sort of land, what percentage of the 180 acre is woodland, is there plenty shelter?

What other activities on the land, 180 acres is not big so any disturbance could have an adverse effect on your stalking.

Neighbours what's their policy on deer

And finally I know I keep coming back to it but 180 acres is not big so be realistic about what you can take off it.

 

[jimbo1984]

As stated it's not a huge piece of ground and you won't be able to stalk there often without disturbing things too much / letting it rest , if there are definitely fallow there I think the most id pay is 250 but then maybe I'm not as rich as some here

Willie you forgot to ask if there.s a '' kitchen sink Available''

Not a kitchen sink, but there may be more questions than answers when evaluating ground that you intend investing good money in. It's easy after the event to think "if only I'd asked....."

There are two old Army adages that are possibly relevant here;
"Prior Preparation Prevents P*ss-Poor Performance", and,
"Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted"

 

[leej]

From experience if you have no other stalking available to you, you WILL pay whatever you can afford for whatever land is available to you. This post is not aimed at the OP but just a reminder to those with plenty of cheap/free stalking available to them, we don't all have it as lucky.
I now do have some ground that I can stalk on without paying, but it has taken the best part of 20 years of pest control to obtain.

If you have no ground and it is local to you then I would suggest it is worth a small fortune to you! However if you do not have much experience then maybe there is someone you know who has experience and can look at it with you. I would put any idea of making a profit from it via venison sales firmly out of your head. You stalk because you enjoy it, you have to pay for your enjoyment I'm afraid. You need to take into account all that has gone before, a vast amount of it being good information, and decide for yourself, how else are you going to learn .

glad this was included ,sadly for a lot of stalkers the money is all important ie what you get in return in venison sales ....I stalked last night didn't get a shot but did see several fat fallow got barked at by 3 different Munties as I left the wood in darkness and got bitten by some wood bugs but I did ENJOY myself .
