Daz39 962 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Dave, the police round here actually send out a bulletin saying "shooting going on in this location" so normally we never get bother. I had a bit last year but nothing serious and ended up the copper having a few shots with my gun! Last night the fella just saw Mac and I, boots open on the cars, guns on the deck, both in came and thought his night was about to be made haha. 1 Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Jason, one extra point. Do one of two things. 1) tell the cops you are going to finish about 2 hours after you think you will stop. Or 2) tell the cops YOU will call THEM to close the log. The number of times I had the cops call me bang on the time I said I was going to pack up. Always seemed to be when I had a rabbit in my scope too!!! That or have water ship down theme tune as your ring tone. 1 Quote Link to post

As I have said elsewhere, my shooting perms are mainly in the lake district and I'm lucky in that I shoot a couple of stately estates with 15,000 to 25,000 remote acres. So on the whole up there, I've never had the need for any of this. The police leave you alone. However, I am thinking of getting some perms down here in the midlands and I would never have thought to do any of this. Can't thank you both enough for this 'heads up' Great advice. 2 Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I never phone the plod when im going shooting, tbh the place I shoot near us the woman lives on site so they would have to drive past her gaff, and my other perms are the middle of nowhere where, I always get written permission though just in case even if its just to save hassling the owners in the small hours, as long as you know the script and your not up to no good shouldn't be a problem.
