philpot 5,003 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I need to go back a few months when I had a brief chat with a farm manager to see if I could shoot rats in a small compound used to hold sugar beet to which he said I could. No rats showed and the sugar beet was moved away.....................end of. Last Sat I was at our village tip where a shooting pal and myself were chatting away when a Disco pulled up and hearing our conversation, the driver said we should talk to his farm manager as nobody was shooting on his family farm. The manager's name was passed across and we said we would get in touch. Tonight we went to see the manager, in his mid thirties and a really nice chap. The bottom line is my pal and I have just struck the jackpot with a 2500 acre shoot with loads of crow, duck, pigeon, rabbit (fcuking loads), squirrels and a few rats................................am I a happy chap Some restrictions like no other person allowed as they have had bad experiences with shooters in the past. He said they had a crow issue in one area which I said I would go tomorrow and see what can be done which pleased him no end because past shooters were only interested in pigeon..........................big mistake. It is going to be a good summer on stubble this year and that is for sure. Phil 4 Quote Link to post

philpot 5,003 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I now need to either buy an ordinance survey map or try to print out from google maps as this place is both large but also has a number of isolated ares spread across a wide area including some fields and ponds a couple of miles away. Looking at the perm again, I think we are looking at more shotgun shooting than airgun but with rabbit and squirrel, there is plenty of sport for both types of shooting. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
