Driven Pheasant Shooting for Businessmen
A look at an alternative corporate entertainment choice that could help you to clinch a big deal or cement relationships with clients.
Days at the races, involving fine dining and the thrill of having a wager on each event, are a common way to entertain clients and business partners in the United Kingdom and many other countries. A night at the theatre or a first-class dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant are a couple of other choices that have proved to be popular over the years. However, if you really want to make an impression on a new partner or a big client who you are hoping will sign on the dotted line, a game shoot could make a refreshing change.
There are many venues from which to choose but the time of year may dictate which ones are available and the type of quarry that it is possible to pursue. The grouse season, for example, runs from August 12th to late November or early December, depending on where exactly in the United Kingdom you are planning a shoot. Businessmen that would like to arrange an event In January may not be able to go after grouse but the pheasant shooting season continuers until the 31st of the month in most parts of the country, making it a good choice for a post Christmas get together.
Scotland is home to some fantastic venues, including a number of extensive country estates, which are always well stocked to ensure that everybody has an excellent chance of bagging a brace or two. Yorkshire has much to offer as well and Devon is a popular choice among businessmen based in the south of the country. However, with regular flights to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness from London, Scotland is a viable option for people in the capital as well as those that live nearer to the border.
Whether a game shoot is a good choice for your next corporate event will of course depend on the client or business partner that you are planning to entertain. Whilst many people would relish the chance to try their luck against agile game birds in beautiful locations, some may only be interested in more passive pursuits such as a night at the opera. A good businessman should ensure that he is aware of the likes and dislikes of all his acquaintances so that he can arrange suitable entertainment when required.
