new permtion in warrington

[mubz2cool 4]

hi all. I just got some new permtion yesterday on a wheat farm, when down today to have a mooch and there was 100s of pigeons all flying about, didnt bring any decoys or hide netting but still managed to get 4 in a hour just as they were flying by, it was very windy so i think thats what was keeping them mooving. there is also a shoot on the other side of the land so quite a few phesant and partridge were knocking about! (farmer said i can shoot them) im quite chuffed! regards mo.

Why dont you just stick to the pigeons and leave the pheasants/pats' alone? Falling out with the neighbouring shoot on new permission sounds a bit f***ing stupid to me. Dont be greedy

if the farmer wants them shot for eating his wheat why not. just keep it amongst you and the farmer. as long as your going to eat them

dont see how it sounds "f***ing stupid" as the pheasant/partridge are eating the weat/corn AND the farmer specifically said i can and should shoot them if i get the chance. personally i would never do anything to jepradise my shooting permition. thasnks for your concern.

1st time i have heard of pheasants needing shot because the damage they are doing to crops. Lets face it you have the chance to shoot them and it looks like you will however it may effect the neighbouring shoot, not up to me to say whats right and wrong al leave that up to you.

definitely! i agree 100%. Im there to shoot pigeons but if a pheasant gets up then thats just a bonus on the day.

[tom1cameron 1]

pheasants can do huge damage to crops, and to wild plants, an especially if at stocking versus wild densities. A farmer can apply for a licence to kill pheasants out of season if a neighbouring landowner is not taking steps to limit the damage released pheasants are having on his crops and/or habitat

 

I say, speak to the neighbours immediately. Tell them you have permission to shoot pigeons for crop protection next door and tell them you will text them when you are going round. You can say that when you are there you will use your dog(s) to flush as many game birds back towards their land. Personally I would just tell them that the farmer was complaining of too many pheasants on his crops and you will try to bag him one to keep him happy...occassionally.

 

Not necessarily bollocks and it shows you are taking the initiative.

im just going of what the farmer has told me. Pheasants are like any other animal and do eat.. things like crops.wheat etc... there was apparently 3500 released about half a mile away..

Well if i am wrong then i stand corrected but as i say i have never heard of that complaint before. As in this case there seems to be around the 3500 number released and i would find it hard to believe that a pheasant would ruin a crop when there would be easy pickings in feed bins around the shooting estate.
