Rez 4,961 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Acquired a bit of a beast of a new permission today. Went for a look round this afternoon. Literally from asking around in the pub. Just goes to show, if ya keep banging 'looking for a permission drum' chances are you might get a bit of luck. All that land owned by a early 18th century cottage. 9 Quote Link to post

When he drove me round I was like... “so that wooded area is yours too?” Theres a few wooded areas, like the Matt pointed out, the large one and a few smaller ones... and he seems to be having a right financial bashing from the pigeons, on peas and beans, it’s the first perm where a pest is actually making a difference to the owners pocket. I know I drop rabbits and the brace or two of birds now and then, but this one feels a bit like a big job. He was almost a bit disappointed when I told him I only use air guns. Might be worth me getting me ticket for a boom stick. Decoy them birds in during the day and plug a few with the airgun at roost. 2 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,990 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well done that man. If you need to impress him with high activity and some banging going on so he thinks it is all going well, take a friend with a shotgun and set out the deeks and go for it. If you don't know anyone Jamie, I will come down and you can use my gun or one of them. I have loads of land to shoot so not trying to worm my way in mate but you might at some stage want to give it a try, if you do, give me a shout. Apply for a shotgun certificate mate then you are geared for most things and a FAC Air ticket is well worth having. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

But it might sound un grateful, I don’t mean it too, but I’m having trouble keeping on top of things on all of them, before I’d even got this one. I get a thick ear from one land owners wife every time she sees a rabbit on the lawn. I try to get round all 5 at least once a month, 1 a week like at best, but hopefully during the summer I can thin the buggers out a bit more in the evenings if I can get a pass. Off to this new one this coming weekend. 98 and a pocket of fields. Get me bearings. 1 Quote Link to post
