Badger poacher with gun dealt reward at the end (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden parachute

'reward at the end' is the definition.
(large payment made to a fired person)

'badger poacher with gun dealt' is the wordplay.
'badger' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters must be badgered or bothered).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'poacher'+'gun'+'dealt'='poachergundealt'
'poachergundealt' is an anagram of 'GOLDEN PARACHUTE'.

(Other definitions for golden parachute that I've seen before include "not a wholly bad result for ex-MD!" , "What's received, after dismissal" , "lavish payout" .)
