BRAD1927 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 LOL I like your thinking but I reckon the chances of the local council letting you loose in a public place with a shotgun/air rifle are pretty slim. Good luck with the quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAD1927 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think what you need to take into consideration is that it's a public place and realistically for you to shoot there you would need some very strong insurance, also the area would need to be closed from the public and last but not least if the anti's get wind of it you got no chance of peace and quiet even if you are providing a service. As the old saying goes "shy kids don't get sweets" so good luck you can all but try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hello what you think is it posible to get permit to shot pigeons/squrels in city how they get around controling greys in parks its pest. just thinking if it is posible. I've done it for a council in one of the parks, many will have seen the pictures of the rather large bag of squirrels I got. It is possible, but it was frought with problems and conditions!

scolopax Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Fifty years ago they used to shut one of our city parks for a morning so that the local wildfowling club could go in and shoot carrion crows!! Cannot see that happening nowadays in an inner city park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robborobbo Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Speaking from a health & safety perspective, the council would have to undertake risk assessments before allowing you permission and I can speculate that there outcome would be to use safer means for pest control in public areas i.e., no guns, traps of some description.
