Thanks for taking the time responding, all the advice well appreciated, since i asked for advice the dog has managed to sniff out two mice under a load of branches at the bottom of the garden so i think she is going to turn out OK, I'll have to be patient and try and get out more.

The best day i have had shooting rooks was on a dry but blustery winters afternoon after i had spent the morning out after a few rabbits with the ferrets. I was ferreting a ground set next to a big wood when a rook flew over my head, seeing the rabbits were few and far between i had a shot at the rook it folded and landed in the center of the ground set, not long after that i packed up, put the rabbits and the rook in the boot and headed home, when i was nearly home i saw a field that was black with rooks a quick phone call to the farmer and before i new it i was walking across the field with

got home from work on Saturday and decided to have a look around for pigeons , put the decoys and gun in the car and started to have a drive around looking at some of the corn fields , after about an hour looking around finally found a field with a few pigeons pitching in , gave the farmer a ring no answer so carried on driving around his land to see if i could find him , half an hour later i found him combining a field of rape so i waited for him to empty the combine into the trailer and walked up to him to ask about the field with the pigeons in , finally got permission from him at about 2 0
