Dan3659 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello all, please could anyone out there help? Myself and 2 friends are air rifle enthusiasts and are looking for land in the Essex area for pigeon/rabbit and rat pest control (we live in Wickford and Brentwood so preferably within a reasonable distance but would travel). We are all insured and responsible gun owners/users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddJob Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Welcome to the site. What chimp means is that it's very hard to get land such as that, its all down to getting out there and asking...and being knocked back a lot. Start asking around local farmers, if you get one out of ten that's a good ratio, but it can be considerably more so don't get disheartened.

Dan3659 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thank you for the welcomes everyone. Yeah I was aware it would be difficult, I've been hassling golf clubs, farm land houses with land etc. That ratio sounds about right, I thought I would throw it out to the open forum never know! I had seen on some of the replies on this forum people were getting positive replies with offers of land to shoot on. Thanks again for replying.

Woodcock Magnet Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'm a member of a woodpigeon/vermin control club? and I'm in syndicates, have you a club in your area? do you go beating? you can contact BASC if you are with them and ask for more info on clubs, hope this helps you find sport.

Cranfield Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 With air rifles (less noise) try stables, pig farms, horse fields and other places where noise is a factor. In my experience, most farmers are not interested in airgunners for pigeon control (unless its round the barns), they prefer shooters with something that makes a loud scary noise. So even if the shooter misses the bird, the noise scares them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
