How far do u travel to shoot etc


Recommended Posts

Hi

Just wondered how far do some of you have to go for the shooting and trapping etc? Only reason I ask Is I was talking to one of the farmers I do pest control for and in the last few weeks there has been quite a few folk from as far away as 60 to a 100 ish miles turning up asking for permission,im glad I must be doing a good job as they didn't get any im quesing it must be a struggle for them if they want to travel miles for a bit of pigeon shooting as that's what they asked for,I admire their commitment to finding permission good on em, I was lucky most of my shooting etc found me,with a bit of leg work too I've more than enough to keep me in my elements its just the impression I get from just reading the shooting oppertunities section is its hard work to get somewhere,a bit sad really I suppose as some will probably never get a crack at the whip so to speak if half of the town you live in wants the same farms etc, anyway lads keep the farmers happy and ya powder dry or else someone might be doin a road trip to get it,

My main shooting is 25 miles from home but I have 5 friends who are farmers and can go on their land any time I wish which is all within 5 miles from home. I would travel further for a special trip for stalking or grouse etc but not on a regular basis.

0 miles paulus lol, isn't it nice mate,Last year I moved to a new house thats about a mile and a half away from the previous one,Before i only had to jump over the fence to one permission and cross the lane to another one,and before then I stayed at one of the farms for. Few months when I was lets say between houses,that was even better,shooting literally on the doorstep or box sash bedroom window early in a morning lol,now I have to drive, and use gun slips,
