Due to the usual reasons (all fairly innocuous! old age, changes of jobs etc) we have 3 vacancies this year on our small, DIY shoot twixt Beverley and Driffield in EAST Yorkshire. You'll find my adverts this time most years in the past! This is an established mixed bird (mainly pheasant, but partridge and wildfowl also) syndicate at a point where much of the work has been done. We have just started shooting on a new farm (we've moved off one farm due to a new owner, but found another bit of similar land - with significantly less mud!) and do have some setting up to do - but we have the kit - and a plan! We aim for 50+ bird days. We shoot 10 Saturdays as organised days, but membership allows 365 day / year vermin / boundary shooting. Location - think 'Driffield'. YO25... Viewing essential, (you can then see us, and we can see you! - I've had a couple of applicants over the years incapable of walking across a bridge over a dyke...) and, as usual we would probably prefer to recruit guns with a dog, and 'probably / ideally' recruit from the East Yorkshire area (we have had applicants from Slough (of all places!) last year - an ex member failing to find shooting nearer!) - we've even got a regular gun travelling all the way from Boston (USA - rather than Lincs!) Price... well, start a conversation and we can discuss (although a search on this forum may reveal the price if I've mentioned it in previous adverts!)

Looking for any rough shooting/ boundary days going. Ideally to join syndicate but happy to take one off days here and there if offered in the mean time. Happy to travel, have my own pointer looking to shoot over and 4x4. Trustworthy, experienced gun up for a laugh and social. If you have any leads I'd love to hear from you. Many thanks Nicky. -
Bristol Twelve Bore club has limited vacancies for rough shooting. The club has farms within easy traveling of Bristol as well as a Wildfowling section of foreshore and deer shooting on a 1500 acre wood over the bridge in South Wales. Club membership may be of interest to licence holders who want to join a small group with the same sporting interests. PM me if you are interested.

Hello, I am looking for shooting in the East Yorkshire area in exchange for fishing on a prime beat of the Driffield West Beck. I'm looking for preferably rough/walk up shooting and Duck flighting/wild fowling but would be more than happy with regular Pigeon shooting as well. If someone would be happy to take me a a guest or on a few trips then that would be great too . I am a young gun (18) but am very experienced and am currently training up a young springer who is coming along well and has accompanied me on a few trips. Many thanks Will -

Caveat: new to pigeon shooting so please bear in mind - no advice will be too basic My permission is a smallish cattle farm with some woods and mainly pasture. I have identified a flightline across the fields and set a hide and decoys as per the general advice (pattern, wind direction etc) but nothing. I assume that this is because of two possible reasons: 1) They would not generally feed on these fields so it would be unnatural for them to come down irrespective of the decoys. I have read that some people have had some success decoying on pasture......?? 2) The flightline seems to run from their roosting location, a small wood, out and in, so am wondering if the hide / kill zone is too near their roost?? When I walk through the fields along the hedgerows I always put up a fair few pigeons flying away and fast - have had a few shots coming up through them and firing as i go through the target as I would with a clay going away from me, but no luck - any tips on lead, swing, aim point etc?? There are of course a good amount of pigeons flying the flightline, but I am not Mr Digweed! The maize field has been cut last week so will try and get over tmrw and see how that develops, but siting the hide will be challenging as the maize field is bordered by a road one side and a golf course on the other. This is the only permission I have at the moment and although lucky to have any, I want to exploit it the best I can - any and all advice would be welcome.

Hi All Langstone and District Wildfowlers And Conservation Association (LADWACA) has filled most of its places for the forthcoming 2014 season, but has a handful of spaces remaining. Although primarily a wildfowling club they also have rough/woodland shooting, offering snipe & pheasant (during the season), pigeon, crow, squirrel etc all year. (Some excellent roost shooting can be had during the early months of the year too ). You can get more information about the club from the link below (which is the ladwaca website www.ladwaca.com). Langstone Wildfowlers If you have no access to any shooting, joining a club will introduce you to, and put you in the company of people who do. You don't need to live in Hampshire to join the club or get on the waiting list, we have members from London, Guildford and surrounding areas who go wildfowling or use the woodland areas we have for shooting. If you are already a member of a club or have existing shooting and are looking to expand your shooting then this could also be for you. If you require any more info on joining then please PM me or reply to this thread. (or you can use the contact form on the website if you like!) All the best Regards Steve www.ladwaca.com

I just went out and took the dogs for a walk and as the weather wasn't looking too bad I took the shotgun. I walked the first two fields working my spaniel through the hedges and woods with nothing showing but my wifes dog seemed very keen so as we went into the next field I kept the spaniel to heal and sent out the pug to work the hedge which she did quite well but nothing showed. As she was so keen today I thought i would give her the chace to work the brambles and marsh at the end of my perm which usually holds a bunny or two, she had been working the cover for about two minutes when she started yapping then a rabbit bolted about 30 yards away the rizzini went up and the rabbit was bowled over! The spaniel retrieved it as the rabbit was nearly as big as the pug!
