Wanted Rough Shooting(Pigeon/Rabbit) syndicate- Northamptonshire?

[jackar7 0]

Dear fellow members

 

I have shot for many years, and in my hometown (worcestershire) had the privilage to shoot over some 3000 acres, for pigeon, rabbits, pheasant ducks and geese and getting land to shoot on seemed easy back then. I moved to Northamptonshire recently with my work however I have never known it so hard to get land to shoot on. Reading other members posts it seems this is a big problem for many guns, and I fully agree that calling on farmers during the right time when the crops are taking a hammering and profits are deminishing it is then you are more likely to get some land to shoot over. Persistance is the key!

 

However, there must be a few of you out there that do have land permission and either shoot alone or with a couple of friends, on large acreage farms, who perhaps have thought about getting together a small rough shooting(rabbits/pigeons) syndicate for an annual fee(payable to the landowner and or the person who has the right to shoot over the land), but never got it off the ground.

 

If any of you in my area(Northamptonshire/surrounding areas) and might be interested if forming one please PM me as I would be very interested.
