Did'nt know it was possible to be given permission to hunt on National Trust land.. Thought the game on there would be protected, Obviously not crows and vermin etc..

I work for NT and dont know of any land they lease the shooting rights too, although i have been asked to do a bit of vermin control every now and then.

I almost had permission on some National trust land near me after doing loads of volunteer work for them.

The head ranger a bit later called and said that the police were not happy with an air rifle being used there because it was near to the airport. I think it was bullshit myself.

sHOOTING NEAR THE AIRPORT WILL BE DOWN TO THE ANTI TERRORISIM UNIT VOICING CONCERNS

 

 

I also had a bit of Land to shoot on near the airport and was stopped a few too many times,for my liking, asking all kinds of questions ,But it was when the uk was on red alert.

Natural England are planning on selling off some of their nature reserves which hold a large number of shoots on them. People have been worried that the buyers may be anti shooting and therefor not renew the shooting leases when the time comes. The rumor you have heard may have come from this but got twisted along the way!
