Continental Shooter 2 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi All, I can't seem to be able to find any pigeons round here (edinburgh / Lothian). I've asked few friends to speak to farmers round their area and nowt! they won't give out permission either as they don't need to since their fields are not getting hammered. By comparison, down south it seems that any field with rape is getting cleaned up and people are offering shooting at every opportunity as they can't get them under control...... any thought to spare? Thanks, Franco Quote Link to post

WILF 47,344 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 We still have some stubble here mate which is unheard of as its normally ploughed in within a couple of weeks, cant get on to touch it. Other than that most of it is still in heavy plough. Quote Link to post

WILF 47,344 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Aye, but to be honest mate I don't mind paying if that's what is needed, I have to pay for my fishing so it don't bother me one bit to pay for anything. Never even got that far, hey ho, I ain't crying about it.....something else always comes along Quote Link to post
