dazsl Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) just asked local farmer if he needed anyone to control pigeons after i found that old lad who had been shooting it years had packed in the farmer told me he had sold the pigeon shooting at £25 an acer to someone who was going to do guided shooting getting beyond a joke now i remember when farmers paid you to shoot pigeons Edited September 25, 2011 by dazsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony73 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 £25 per acre sounds a bit dodgy to me.£5 per acre to rent land for game shooting would be plenty Where round Doncaster is it,i live in Epworth and pigeon numbers are low round me,cant think of anywhere round the Doncaster area where pigeon numbers are high enough to provide a guide with enough numbers to shoot consistently-are you sure he's telling the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 £25 an acre? so 5k if he has 200 acres. that would want to be some farm for attracting pigeons to be paying so much money. The place must be blue! In which case the crop damage must be massive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Can't see why anyone should moan that the land owner should charge a fee to use his land. It is his to do as he pleases afterall, he has paid for it. £25/acre does sound a hell of a lot but good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Are we sure that the rate per acre has not been inflated by a factor of X 10? webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazsl Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Are we sure that the rate per acre has not been inflated by a factor of X 10? webber i missed 10 out per 10acre but it cuts down on available land to shoot i don't blame any farmers for making money next thing you no he will be complaining that there too many shooting it or they are not shooting it. tony 73 conisbrough side there are plenty of pigeons over here Edited September 25, 2011 by dazsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
