blade Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Was playing golf sunday and one of the holes there is a rape field that runs alongside it .Walked on to the tee and the field erupted must have been well over 300 pigeons. Stood and watched for a while and they soon returned in small numbers.Dont think there feeding on the rape must be the weeds. When i returned to the golf shop asked the pro who owned the land.He told me his name and said he is a right funny old sod.Thought well got nothing to loose by asking. Got home that evening and found his number useing yell.com.Gave him a ring and low and behold shooting field tomorrow.Only problem is iv been signed off work with sciatica. But think i will have to suffer the pain could be a very good day will keep you posted. Just goes to show you dont know until you ask Edited June 24, 2010 by blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Although you have spoken to the Farmer on the phone, be sure to pop round and see him and let him put a "name to a face". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
