Hunters wanting payment to hunt on private land

**Roverlord off road spares** · 21st February 2014, 09:46 PM

I had a chuckle tonight after reading an ad in a local paper. I used to hunt and even in those days you had to have a good rapport with land owners and farmers to get permission to hunt on their land.

The ad I read tonight says they hunt Bunnies, foxes, deer and pigs and will come to your land and CHARGE you to hunt down all these vermin.
but after a month their service is Free.

So you're saying that hunters shouldn't be paid for providing a service?

Why's that?

Great idea if you could get away with it

If you ask them to come and provide for you a service, then you pay for their service,
If they ask to come and play on your place then you can charge them for the lease of your playground .
A bit like if you get someone to slash your paddock verse agistment

Not a bad idea. I'll rustle up a few of the lads from my local game fishing club and we'll go and cull some sharks to make the beaches a safer place. Who do we send the invoice to ?.

I don't think he was suggesting hunters should not get paid. I interpretted it as he found the the ad a bit cheeky considering a large percentage of hunters would jump at the chance to shoot on private land for free.

I think chopper somed it up well.

30 odd years ago we were supply with all our 12 gauge amo we needed for the year for a couple of years for vermin control in crops by a local farmer. We just had a key to the storage shed and there was always a few boxes of shells left there for us. wasn't being paid but made shooting cheap
cheers

Cash or EFTPOS

Either way I doubt my farmer mate would pay anybody to shoot on his property, he is always knocking them back...between 10/80 and himself there ain't much worth shooting except for the odd pheasant (you gotta be a good shot hey ranga)
