philpot 5,035 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Last week I was chatting to one of the farmers and he happened to mention his friend was having issues with rabbits and his land is right next to another perm we have, a phone call later and a short meeting, job done but this one is going to be a cracker as time goes by and quite a size, about 1200 acres. A day later a lady got in touch with my shooting partner asking if we could sort a few rabbits out for her. She has a caravan compound with a huge warren in the next field, the rabbits are all over at night so number two perm sorted. The very next day, I get a phone call as this chap heard that we shoot large numbers of rats for another farmer. Job sorted Three new perms in three days, well happy with that.

mark williams 7,561 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Compliments on the new permissions Phil. Do be careful though mate as it can become a job at your expense, rather than a lovely hobby. I`ve been there , " once only" and never again. Best wishes, Mark. 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nice one Phil That caravan park sounds like fun - we stayed at one in Devon years ago and, they had rabbits everywhere. We were almost stepping on them on the way back from the pub. 2 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,811 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I dito Marks comments Phil the factory's were a pain in the ass for me Phil on the phone every other week end we need this done we need that done and what ever you had planed for a week end was out the window you had to go or loose it to some one else it made me feel like a job and not a sport some of the other land owners thought we had given up we had not been for that long atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,035 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I take on board what you and Mark said Jimmy and funnily enough my shooting partner and I have said enough is enough. We can just handle what we have but taking on more would be not the wisest thing to do so that decision is made. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
