Keep ******* in the wind Giving up wont get you nowhere where are you located, maybe someone would offer to take you out if you put where you are just keep door knocking, and putting cards in local farm stores and on the bar at the pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 i bet 90 percent of the people on here have had or will still have the same problem m8 about gettin permission just stick at it and dont get put of with the knock backs we all get them but when you get a yes its worth it also you should put where you are from and give some details as there might be someone on here local to you that could help . Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss.tony Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 welcome to pw fella there s a few way s go door knocking and get your own land but not easy to find . Or you can pay for days but thats not cheap but it gets you out or ask on here if some will take you out all the best ... swiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamp79 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Have to agree mate, just keep knocking and asking. Also put the word about with friends that might know people.It worked for me twice. Keep an eye out on here too. Just always be pleasant and things will come up. Good luck! Also as stated previously, add your location, there might be someone willing to show you the ropes, some decent guys on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fielddweller Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi Hempel. I am well aware of how hard it is trying to get permission,but keep going they are like buses. However i now have got a few farms that i can shoot pigeons on and while i am no expert you would be welcome to come and join me for the day.The pigeons are scattered all over at the moment,but will be on the rape soon of which i have several fields to go at.You would need sgc and insurance and decoying eqpt(could help with some kit),no promise of 100 bird days but its FREE,based near Church Fenton.Normally weekends with the occasional mid week.

MY Sons mate just started out 6 month ago and posted cards to the farms offering free electrical services in return for shooting, he now has about 15 farms in his book he can shoot on and all he has done so far is rewire a few sockets and replace lights in barns,another guy I know repairs fences etc and has thousands of acres to shoot on,try offering some kind of service other than pest control it worked for them.

What a fantastic offer from FIELDDWELLER, and 2 shooters as well. This restores faith in people, and once again it highlights what a great group of people we have in pigeon watch. I will watch closely now to see if any offers come up for STUART21 fo his holiday break in Pembrokeshire Well done FIELDDWELLER. bakerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
