Big rowie 171 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Saying how it is isn't being an asshole. If they act the twat tell them. You've shared your shoot now they think they can do things more like their way. Don't need jumped up idiots anywhere near you as good guys will have enough and move on then you are left with idiots. I tell the lads at work this is how it is. Company makes money they make money. They try bark orders or say I'm not doing this or that just remind them how it is. Everyone knows their place and it's better that way 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hambone 948 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 8 hours ago, Arry said: Its your shoot you choose who you want on it, who you want to spend your spare time with. If you have twats with high opinions like that they will hinder the banter the laughs the crac. I hate this don't say this don't say that treading on egg shells arguments will all ways start like that. You cant always agree with everybody all the time but real mates would let a comment wash over them like water off a ducks back. But twats like that are going to creat an atmosphere you don't want. Your on the money Dido have your shoot the way you want it with the people you want to have around you. Cheers Arry The problem is though Arry, if as DIDO says its an equal shares scenario then its not his shoot. He has a share. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I've been involved in one that had a few members like DIDO describes, would not get involved with a syndicate again unless either in control of it or just paying and turning up to shoot. Less hassle that way 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry A big landowner, their son has inherited the responsibility of running things. We have taken it between the three of us and it's worked fine this season. They are in effect my best mates....but obviously they are shooters and have a few quid about them and do mix in slightly different circles. But I found the shoot, I negotiated with the landlords. On top of that I get on with the landlords son as he farms the place and he's definitely more on my level. It's me who organises most things and ties it all together. We don't have a signed lease though and I've agreed so far on a really good gentleman's agreement, though that may have to change if we spend big money on it this next season. Poults are £6 each....so 2000 poults are 12 grand before you feed em! Bearing in mind I don't even shoot pheasants I just enjoy the keepering and running the beaters. Bit of an awkward situation really.....and I was just having a laugh on here after they said I was an arse with people I disagree with. I guess now I'm opening the box on a bigger discussion that needs to happen. As we get bigger the place needs a shoot captain and boss.... The land isn't suitable for walked up shooting and is set up for a big driven shoot. The landlords son also wants his boys involved beating so just doing it half arsed isn't going to work 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 3,729 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Most of us have to put up with people and spend time in their company that we would rather not if given a choice. In order to pay the bills. It seems to me that your shoot is your Shangri-La not a paid job? I may be wrong. If your enjoyment of YOUR shoot is going to be compromised then do not allow it to happen. Have an honest clear the air meeting with the 2 other chaps that have a say as to who is or is not going to be welcome on the shoot and see how it goes. In regard to the person threatening to shoot hounds he just a c**t. I am not condoning unruly hounds and incompetent huntsmen if they are a regular problem on land that is being managed to hold birds but take it up with the owner of the dogs. Man to man. If it is an idle threat then he just is a gobshite, which also makes him a c**t, but at least a harmless one. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed I did say I'm not totally disallowing him....but I would have to meet him first and he would be asked to explain his comments 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the monkey 337 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 i am in exactly the same position as you and last year told one of the guns and two beaters not too come back . to say that they were upset was an understatement but they had to go as they were causing an atmosphere .this year its a much happier place 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
