Browning 425 clay hunter Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 hi all, I'm now officially one happy bunny. Today I had to go out with one of our drivers to deliver building materials to a local farm. Once we get there I realise it's the farm me and my best mate used to go fishing on over 15 years ago. My mate's dad is very good friends with the farmer and I also was in the same classes as his daughter so we got chatting. As were nattering away about the old days his missus walked past with two 12 bores over her shoulders and I hear her complaining about them bloody pidgeons again. So I very politely say if you need any help thinningthe numbers let me know. To my surprise he says give me a call over the weekend and I will take you down and show you what's what, boundaries and so forth. He then says he's fed up with losing crop to pidgeons, rooks allsorts of other birds and then informs me there's loads of them foxes about attacking his chickens. I'm thinking can this get any better when he tells me theres loads of geese aswell on one of his lakes that also need thinning out. I'm now thinking wow what a chance meeting. Then the cherry on the cake is the only other person who shoots their is his son and to help him out he's built a hide for him. Apparently his son rarely goes down there so if I can do a good job I should be able to get down there when i want. I just wanted to share my happiness with the PW faithful and hopefully nobody's fell asleep reading this with me harping on. ATB One very happy 425 Obviously nothing set in stone yet but once I've been show around I should get the green light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsdad Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well done. We found fields covered in hundreds and hundreds of pigeons today and the farmer said he would lov us to shoot them but we have to speak to the land owner from whom he rents the land from first...fingers crossed though.

Thanks cranfield, it has been a most fortunate event. Very lucky indeed. Maybe it's karma paying me back for years of bad luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
