    Thanks, I will look into these

    Suffolk Do you know any good ones? If there are lots I am sure there are a few crappy ones? Agreed, it just feels much better to actually bring something home. Plus I am thinking of investing in a new gun, and don’t want to get it and not actually use it.

    There isn’t any particular flight line, a couple of sitting trees but that’s about it. I’ve been under / near both of them.

    The wheat is about about 3-4” long at the moment and there hasn’t been anything on it for a while. Trouble is where the wheat fields are nobody else shoots in the area so doesn’t keep them moving around at all. Any advice for shooting in a wood? Not very large and not very thick.

    Hi again, Yes I have 3rd Party Insurance, the crops are wheat at the moment but will be putting some maize in too - they usually feed on oil seed rape and berries this time of year. I am trying out some different decoys and nets to see if that makes any difference - different places in the fields also. I will take a look into the clubs, £175 is not too bad considering most shoots are much more. Thanks again for the help!

    Haha, happy birthday for the coming Friday! And youthful looks is good, but whoever I’m with at the time will look like a shrivelled up old prune I do like to read - pop up books or looking at the pictures! Nah, just kidding I will have a look into being a book perhaps.

    That sounds much more manageable, plus other commitments may mean I won’t be able to do shooting every weekend - but obviously if asked I could try to re-arrange plans. Please don’t take any offence, but I may need to pass on the goatee 🐐 my girlfriend would go mad haha! And at least there is youth on my side in some ways.. Just not getting permissions Thanks for the advice, but I think my girlfriend might get confused and begin kissing the top of my nose thinking my eyebrow was my tash and that would confuse the hell out of someone if you were upside down, they wouldn’t know which way was up!

    Do you have any images?

    Is there any way we can request the area within the title too? It’s a nightmare to find something local

    After looking at a few threads after signing up, it’s pretty obvious that people don’t want others on here just to simply try and get places to shoot - hence the actual advice seeking (what the forum was made for). I know of a couple farmers who always do shoots in my area which I could always contact. I have never done it before so might even enjoy it I would be happy to use air rifle also, as some farmers can be a bit funny with what they want you to use. When I can get some more land to shoot on I am hoping to get my firearms licence also (perhaps opening up more possibilities for vermin killing) Ha! Good idea! I will try my breast - pardon the pun. I can’t guarantee the outcome though, perhaps pecks are a close alternative? Or just getting fat and wearing a bra? Breasts would definitely work for me, and they can be very difficult to say no to

    There is local pig farm which always has crows I’m sure they’d be happy for me to take a few out. Only thing is I like to eat what I shoot but only tried crow once and didn’t like it haha. Any recipe ideas?

    I understand that the birds will not actually decoy the crop I am on, but my hope is to just encourage them slightly closer to take a shot. I just enjoy the odd burst of excitement when a stray bird wonders into my path. It’s worth all the hours of waiting and much more entertaining than PlayStation (in the end) And I’m only particularly bothered about woodies.

    I think I’ll avoid hair in general - girlfriend prefers it Not involved in any local clubs / events, just literally grab a gun and go. Thanks for the options, I will look into these. I refuse to pay for any form of vermin shooting, so not to worry on that side - admittedly it’s our hobby, but if someone had to pay for pest control it would cost more than just letting the odd few people go for a shot See them occasionally, I don’t have time to reccy. I literally just get up and go. If I get something I do, if not, I don’t Agreed, but it makes the rest of the time fishing worth it if you catch more Good idea, never really thought about that. I will give it a shot - pardon the pun

    It’s still better getting something, this has made me appreciate what I have more. So thanks everyone

    I go for a walk with my gun every Saturday morning for a couple mile walk and decoy until dark in all weather for not even a shot. I wouldn’t mind, but at the moment it’s every weekend 😮

    I like to breast them and slice them into strips & fry until med-rare Saw this forum mentioned in YouTube video so thought id give it a go

    PlayStation all the way, but my family gets grumpy if I spend too much time on screens (after working on screens all week) I do appreciate it takes patience, luckily now pheasants are out of window I can shoot a local small wood also - perhaps give that a whirl this weekend
  18. Wardy97
    To be fair, I work in an office 5 days a week so perhaps I should appreciate the “outdoor air” and fitness more
  19. Wardy97
    Fair enough. I understand your point, but spending hours on end in hides / walking around for nothing except fitness isn’t my ideal weekend I don’t think my girlfriend would approve of that, ever seen a skinny guy with a beard - doesn’t look right, plus I have a light brown / blonde hair

    Hi All, New to all this so will have to hang in there. I am a fairly well experienced shooter, I have been shooting since about 7/8 years old - using multiple guns, different strategies and have hunted different animals through the years. I am 21 years old but to put it bluntly I have very much of a babyface. I have permission from a couple of different farmers in my area (Suffolk, East-Anglia) and have been going shooting every weekend for a while now, but I seem to have scared away all the animals and it doesn’t help the farmers have all the wrong crop for this time of year and I don’t tend to get much, if anything. So obviously I am wanting to find more places to shoot. The land I can shoot on I only have permission due to my family having permission first, we can shoot what we like when we like and go when we like etc. which is very nice. But the issue I am having is I people to think because I look young, I am inexperienced, therefore messy and do not follow rules, therefore not to be trusted & given permission “the youth of today” - I am really keen to find more places I can shoot but can’t seem to get through to the old traditional farmers in the area who are stuck in their ways. Any advice is much appreciated for how I can try to come across as being a “grown-up”. Many Thanks, Dale
