what a shame, could be some decent shooting for someone there!! sonme people are just not willing to put the time and effort in. too many just want to turn up, stand on a peg and shoot whatever game flys over them. You will never catch those people carry all the pieon gear over a field of rape. too much like hard work for them.

Might be worth contacting the syndicate and sounding them out for the out of season pigeon shooting?

the trouble is no one knows who is who .a old boy who lives in one of the farm cottages out on its own away from the farm i spoke to is a real old character he showed me all the old flight lines and he said he never see's anyone anymore especialy any shooters and it is a awfull lot of land the farm and farm yard cottages are full of students and no one knows who is who its a shame as there is a lot stalking there aswell .

If nobody is going there shooting, why dont others get in there ?

If they're not gonna turn up and fulfill their commitments why the hell do they get the rights in first place ?

 

Is it greedy farmers own fault for selling the shooting rights for big bucks/quick cash ? Do they give up the right to protect their crops ? Should they have been more careful about setting conditions when selling the shooting rights ?

It's an age-old problem. If a farmer or land owner sells or rents out the sporting rights it is the duty of the sporting tenant to control vermin. The farmer or land owner can shoot vermin themselves and appoint one other person, usally an employee or family member. If the sporting tenant fails to control the vermin to the satisfaction of the farmer or land owner they can sue them for the cost of the damage although this is rarely if ever enforced.

 

I shoot on a set-up like this. There are three farmers who phone the sporting tenant to tell him of any problems. He is a mate of mine so he rings me and I go out and fire a few shots, put some flags out or when time and conditions are right blat a few birds.
