Ideation 8,217 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Fair number of folk do it, but you would need to sort out insurance etc. And actually know what you are doing rather than just have a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do they do when they come home with out anything? Do the guests get their money back? Suppose you'd have to make sure they knew the nature of the game from the very beginning. People pay good money to go out on fishing trips with no promises of anything at the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do they do when they come home with out anything? Do the guests get their money back? The couple of folk i am thinking of are like Simon Whithead (?) at Pakefield (SP) ferrets/pest control, who operate a buisness taking people on 'ferreting experiance' days a long side their pest control etc buisness. I can only assume that these sort of people are located in an area where they can guarantee at least a bag of rabbits, however large everytime. They would also have various insurances etc for the landowner/them/other folk. They probably also come across as knowledgable, experianced people because lets face it they do it everyday for a job etc. Also how old is the original poster - because not being a dick, if your under 20/25 its a complete non starter. I think people would feel funny doing it with a 15 yr old. Thats just life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
