retromlc Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 well spent the day knocking on doors and asking nicely,mosat of the land around here is owned by a couple of farmers,and no luck so far,was told to go and see one farmer,who has big rabbit and pigeon problems but i tried to speak to him 6 months ago and got the cold shoulder,so still hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Whereabouts in Kent are you? There is an agency on Sheppey that charges you £350 a year to shoot over their 3,000 acres around Sheppey, Faversham and Bredgar - Last time someone put the link to it on here it got pulled, so PM me if you want details.

retromlc Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 yup I looked into that ,but my mates who joined said that apparently they have just placed restrictions on Game shooting,because some members were taking too many and shooting the birds on the ground,so the appeal to shoot in Winter is damped by the lack of stuff around and the no game policy on 90% of land makes it a less inviting investment.

Fatcatsplat Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 That's true - Just got my letter yesterday and had a little moan up at them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 yeah to be honest I am a member,but didn't want to say in case I was the only one who complained,then they'd know who i was if they read this,they reminded me it's a rough shoot membership and a game membership would cost much more,i thought that is true,but they don't put birds down in the thousands and i think the game is just wild,i shot the other day and saw only 5 pigeon in 4 hours and 1 pheasant that was in range but i had to let it go.so 4 hours and nought to show for it,the pheasant would have made the day worthwhile and the membership renual more tempting.Gave my details to a farmer today and he said he'd consider me when the woodies turn up so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
