kingoftoosh 15 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Was called out to fix a boiler on a site,spoke to plumber a few times and we got round to talkin bout hunting.Well turns out he was pally with my neighbour and his brother and that he stays 5 min up the road from me ,also he has a few acres of land that he keeps horses on. The best bit was he said therte are plenty of rabbits on it and told me i could shoot there,i didn't even have to ask ( i was just about to though). Kept hearing people say they were OFFERED shooting permission but didn't think it would happen to me,so for those with no permission my tip is to let people know you shoot air rifles and you never know who has land with pests on it that they want taken care of. Its another wee permission but they are growing and at least on this one i can start getting some meat for me and the dog,not had a supply of rabbits for a while . Had a quick look up the night and it looks ok,tree lined and hedges so plenty of places to sit waiting for rabbits to come out or places to practice my stalking.. need to go finalise few things with the boy,then need to wait on replacement gun lamp arriving.then its all go. 1 Quote Link to post

rushty 1 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Best of Luck on your new permission , Its amazin how things work out . Further to that though ... you just never know what one permission can lead to , all it takes is this guy to mention it in passing to another horse owner etc and bingo you have some more. Enjoy bud.

Phantom 631 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Nice one Marti Yep, it can be very hard work getting permission; then as you mention and has happened to me; it can be handed to you on a platter Enjoy and don't forget the camera Like you say, People who don't have it, don't be shy, and more importantly don't give up trying. It will pay off eventually Phantom Quote Link to post
