Your hunt Subscription charge

[Weezy]

Interested to know the variation around the country. OBH this season is...

One day a week - £1,020
Two or more - £1,275
8 tickets - £680
8 tickets (Weds only) - £520
4 tickets - £350

Caps are
Monday & Wednesday £60 (visitors £80)
Saturday £80 (visitors 120)

Pretty pricey I think - how does this compare?

 

[ihatework]

Ouch!
I now remember why I don't go hunting!!!

 

[Rowreach]

We pay £100 subs and £10/day cap. We only hunt one day a week from late October till mid March. There's usually only about 12 people out, and no visitors are allowed (unless they are friends of subscribers). It's really good fun. Where I was before, the subs were £1,200 (more now I think) and £20/day, and fields of 60+. Lots of trotting round headlands and queueing for jumps. :grin:

[wendygood]

OK I may be think but if you become a subscriber do u still pay cap?

 

[RunToEarth]

Big landowner sooo I am just paying wire money and then my members sub on top of that is about £100 atm.

 

[Haniki]

If you are a subscriber you pay field money as well as a sub - either ever time you go out or it can be compounded for the season. Ours is £10 per day.
Sub - £360 - individual
£295 - individual farmer
Cap - £30

That's in Devon.

 

[Starbucks]

£650 two days
£600 one day

But £20 field money which is quite steep I reckon.

It's a shame we have to make up the caps for all the big land owners *sigh*

 

[icklemadame]

Old Surrey & Burstow - £650 sub and then £20 cap for a full subscriber.... last season as a 'youth' (18-25) I paid £350 and £20 cap... really struggled to save the extra £300 this year!!

 

[Starbucks]

Gah - your so lucky!! I'm 24 and have to go for full subs now!! I did a bit of a deal - but it was much more than £300!!

I think it should be means tested!!

 

[icklemadame]

A kinda prove how little money you have type scheme?! I agree!! I'd qualify for a free sub I'm sure!! Guess I was lucky to pay a half sub for so long, but yes, now I'm 26 I'm feeling the real strain of being an adult!!

 

[Starbucks]

Yea like parents get when kids go to uni!

Don't think I'd do that brill actually, but my mum is well poor and has to spend most of her money on hunting!!

Out huntsman is also a big shooting man though - hunting is a complete BARGAIN in comparison!

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

Starbucks, it's loads cheaper to go shooting than hunting for us!

My husband paid about £700 for a full gun this season, he is out approximately two out of every three Saturdays, beat one shoot one. And at the end of the day, he cleans his gun and puts it away, and there's no more expense until he has to buy more cartridges! Downside is there are pheasants hanging in the garage for days...

 

[lucym]

down ere in devon its all pretty cheap.
free for pony club members

[Sneedy]

I used to hunt in South Wales and only paid £120 for an annual subscription, it was great fun as well!!!

Can't afford to hunt in Northants now as I think its about £90 for a day with the Pytchley :crazy:??

 

[severnmiles]

£100.00 Subs and £2.00 each meet for the raffle and the box, no annoyingly huge fields either!

 

[Weezy]

I am moving to Wales :grin:

 

[brighteyes]

I'm off to Devon :grin:

 

[severnmiles]

I am moving to Wales :grin:

I actually had my best day down here at the end of 04 (despite having previously hunted with SHH and the Ledbury) 11 mile point. We had to get a lorry brought up, there was just a field master, a whip, the huntsman and me, we even lost the terriermen and car followers. Don't think I'll ever get a day as exciting as that again! Oh and we didn't get Charlie!

 

[Eagle_day]

Ours is fairly typical for Lincolnshire:

Subscription 575
Field money 10
Vistors' cap 40

 

[duckpond]

Wow who do you hunt with, thats cheap.

 

[Boxers]

Who do you hunt with? My daughter is hoping to go with Blankney in December and then in the new year.

 

[druid]

Bloody hell yours are expensive!

€595 here, €295 for landowners. Cap: €20 members/€80 visitors/€150 foreign visitors (we had problems with swelled fields due to your ban/F&M as we're one of the closest to the airport)

 

[JenHunt]

full subs £365 (+ £5 each day you turn out)
10 day £200 i think
day sub £40

 

[SpruceRI]

peachesandcream - where in Devon? We go for a hunting hols Devon/Somerset every year and pay about £100 cap each hunt.

Not going to hunt next year, just go for the hacking!
