mikey4363 0 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 hello im looking for permisson to shoot (shotgun) around the south of birmingham. im happy to travel. mostly rabbits and pigeons although if you other birds such as crows shooting happy to do this. i am a member of the BASC Quote Link to post
philpot 4,998 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Try driving around to see if there are any freshly drilled fields with crow activity, the farmers do not want crows pulling out the seeds and everybody asks for pigeon and rabbit shooting so approach it on a different tack but make sure you have some crow deeks and a call to do the job properly. Worth a try. Phil Quote Link to post

If however you are single......................fill the freezer with rabbits and road kill Phil Quote Link to post

philpot 4,998 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 David that is just not fair mate My perms will go mental when they take the rape in but it doesn't last but fun when it does. I get pigeon as they head in to roost but with the winds we get over here, the flight paths vary quite a bit so it can be very hit and miss. Phil Quote Link to post

philpot 4,998 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just over my garden wall are fields with horses in and the woodies are at times in numbers of 50+ hammering the clover, no further than 25 - 30 mt, in fact clover seems to be a major interest for them at the moment David.
