richg Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 The planned decoying course is now gathering pace and a date will be set soon. It will be on an estate near Lincoln. The day will cover everything from health & safety and the law as well as all the practical side of decoys ,hides, patterns ect including equipment and technology, I will also give you my tips on the all important GETTING PERMISSION. when i first mentioned this it was met with a bit of derision as i quoted a 90% success rate, but i stand by the method i have used and refined over many years. its not a secret as clearly others on here use it, but i will show you how to use it and get more permission. Shooting Times Magazine have agreed to cover the course with an article, so for those who have already contacted me i will get back to you soon , there are still some places available so contact me asap. The cost is £55 inc tea and coffee. Richard Gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Not stepping on other pigeon shooter's toes should be a part of this course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 'Not stepping on other pigeon shooter's toes should be a part of this course. ' Good luck with it, our pigeon courses sell out almost as soon as they are advertised, so I think you will have no trouble selling places! Yes I take your point, poaching someone’s permission is abhorrent. If you have a good relationship with your landlord, and you are delivering on the pest control, if another shooter comes calling your landlord will politely tell them they are not needed. However, if you have not been on your permission for a bit, or are not delivering to your landlords requirement then you risk losing it to someone else!

richg Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have never felt it necessary to step on another shooters toes, there have been occasions when i have found someone has beaten me to a promising looking field, but i would always go and introduce myself, have a brief chat then wish them luck and find another field. this usually leads to friendly relations and maybe working together rather than in competition. there's plenty of pigeons and plenty of land for everyone, and you can rarely expect to have sole rights to any farm, you have to be flexible. Sadly some shooters are very possessive and rude, these are usually the ones who leave cartridges everywhere and shoot things they should not.
