    Disturb them they move on job done. No need to fire a single shot. Keeping them in the area is our problem not moving them on. 

    They will not be disturbed they are almost tame, they come so close you can almost grab them, we need to do something as they have taken over the pools i cant believe how many have come this year its crazy

    Canada Geese are not classed as Pest's or Vermin. They are Waterfowl which may be controlled out of season under GL28. Using a shotgun to control Canada Geese Non Toxic Shot must be used and the shotgun must not be capable of holding no more than 2 Cartridges in the magazine and 1 Cartridge in the chamber.

    So does that mean they can be controlled all year or only up to 31st July by the means you mention in your post

    hello, maybe the fishing club could apply for a licence and put you down as pest control bailiff 

    Do you have to apply for a GL28 general licence then as this was one bit i didnt understand, its not like the general licence for pigeons and crows then

     it would be under public health and public safety 

    I read that but how do you prove you are culling under this criteria, would the HUGE amount of bird c&@p all over the fishing platforms count towards this

    My local fishing club has a huge issue with canada geese taking over 3 small ponds, there are so many of them the place is un fishable, is there any way of getting rid of these pests 

    Can they be shot under the canada geese general licence (GL28), I have had a read of this licence but im not very good with taki g this stuff in and although i have read it i dont understand it, if they can be shot what time of year can this be done

    Any genuine help would be very much appreciated so once we are out of lockdown something can be done 

  10. Advise regards shooting cormorants

    in Other Pest Control

    Posted

    Hi All

    Can anyone offer me any advise on the best way to shoot cormorants, I have been asked by a small fishing club to control the cormorants on their 2 ponds as the fish are being eaten so quickly they really need it sorting. I have been added onto the Defra licence by the club so all legal and above board.

    Thing is I have never shot cormorants and would like some advise from anyone who has culled them on the best approach

     

    Thanks in advance

    Well put, if only someone like David Beckham, or better still Richard Attenborough, where farmers, we might get some balanced reporting ,we need someone high profile in our corner.

    Isn't there an England rugby player that is a farmer as well think his name is Julian White he is also an MBE is it worth sending him a letter asking for his celebrity status to try and help

    I have looked endlessly through the forum trying to find out where we all stand regards shooting crows and other corvids 

    I have read about now being able to get back out on the pigeons but need to know if we are able to get on the crows yet

    Could someone please let me know where we are with with shooting crows on crops as I have a few fields of maize that they are pulling up and need controlling 

    Thanks
