So, pigeon man and me met up this morning 9am at the tennis club for a coffee, a sausage butty and to discuss a plan of action for securing new permission.
We started knocking at 10am and I landed home for 13.30. We knocked at 10 farms between us and I did a further 3 on my return journey home. Unfortunately we didn't have any YES,s there and then and a lot of farms already have shooters...even some that seem to have crow issues had designated guns...but we didn't hear one shot all day!
It is pretty deflating doing the rounds like that with no immediate return, but we did leave out letter for them to consider in the future.
It did look promising at one stage, I knocked on the door of a farm house and was invited in to meet the man of the house, an old boy at 82yrs who was hard of hearing....we got on fine after I explained I didn't shoot sheep and cows but crows and pigeons! Haha. Unfortunately he didn't own much land and the farm was actually next door.
We will keep on the hunt, I am ever the optimist.
