Permission near houses???

[TIMMAY 6]

Just to let you all know, went down this evening, with the binos for a look, and the landowner was there. Told me to get on there and start culling. He suggested we drive down the field, and shoot out the car. I wouldn't normally consider this, but as this was pest control, and not entirely a sporting activity i gave it a go and ended up with 9 rabbits in half an hour!

 

Anyway think the farmer will be happy, and i think i'll use this approach until the numbers drop to a reasonable level.

 

I did ring the police before going and they were fine, and there were no problems.

 

I have to admit that i do not have insurance yet. Looked at joining the basc, and basa as you guys have advised. Do you get more for your money with the basc, as the subs are considerably more than basa?

 

Again cheers for the opinions, much appreciated!

when you phone plod, have everything written in front of you, so as not to sound un proffessional

 

start with who you are, name address, mobile contact number,

state your doing rabbit culling on mr so and so's land, plus his address and contact number,

a time that your be shooting from untill too, tell them your ring back at given time to inform them that cull is finished,

if you have transport, then also reg number of car (if its parked nearby/on land)

 

dont start taking every tom,dick and harry with you, at the end of the day, its your name on the permission, taking others that just want to shoot anything that moves, puts you in a bad light, and anything bad happens, it will come back on you

 

 

Best advice yet, simple and straight, common sense should see you not getting into trouble, screw the busy bodies if your doing it right and got permission in writing
