Not usually and some will also declare it to HMRC for tax purposes and pay by bank transfer, however you usually get a brace plus beaters day. Picking up dogs men/women are paid more however you need to bring at least a couple of capable dogs. Kids get a tenner.
Larger shoot keepers may try and treat you like a t*@t, we have a local one that is well known for it, plus side is a 200 bird beaters day although I would not beat for such a person.Equally we have some fantastic locals shoots and I have seen guns give up a gun to a beater towards the end of the and load for them!

The pay has increased since I last time I did it in the 1990's.
Would not mind getting back into it

But do we really do it for the money? I would struggle to think of a better way to spend a winters Saturday.
