Pigeon decoying 20th & 21st


Recommended Posts

Christ Kevlar another permission? Why is it they fall in our lap and I am travelling down every little lane and dirt track I go past with nothing but;

"no," "no I have shooters', "Sorry no" and the occassional "no thanks"

 

I`m pretty sure everyone on this forum will back me up and say it isn`t always ever about NEEDING shooters on their land it`s pretty much all about reputation and references, especially due to pretty much every farm has shooters already, you just need that first permission of a reasonable size then work on it for a little while then start seeing surrounding farmers, if you are doing a good job ask your landowner for a reference and then when you see the next farmer the first words out of your mouth are " Hello my name is .......... i shoot for ............ on his land and HE gave me your name and suggested i see you. i have never been turned down for permission this way, the only close thing to a no was a farmer who says he doesn`t have a pigeon problem but he had no problems with my shot falling onto his land and no problems with me using his fields to put banger ropes out.

I know it`s probably no consolation but you just need that one. Where about in the country are you?

I know what you are saying it definitely makes sense. I'm just so surprised at just how popular our sport is. I'm not far from you mate down in Walderslade, Medway. I will definitely keep trying as a sales rep I am on the road every day driving in 4 counties so I am speaking to farmers at least 2-3 times a week.
