hedge Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Sadly, if people knew landowners with pigeon shooting they would be using it themselves. You aren't going to get much help on here (not that we aren't helpful but we all want more permissions). Try driving around your local area. Look for pigeon activity and then go and find the local landowner(s). Offer your services as pest control/crop protection and see what they say. Don't expect them to all offer you shooting, if at all. You are a complete stranger to them and they have to put a lot of trust and faith in you to give you permission. Some may not want shooting on their land and others might already have people shooting them. Last resort could be to pay for it or shoot at a local lcay club and try to tap up other shooters. Personal recommendations or invites to other peoples permissions are a good start. You area will have some game shoots so they will probably be off limits. You say you have a certificate etc. - does that include insurance? People tend to like to know how experienced you are etc as that can help as well. Good luck with it.

EMcC Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 There's none going spare around my part of Wiltshire. Plenty of pigeon but all taken and mostly only shot at week-ends. I have even heard of prices being mentioned for ground I shot for crop protection before the sons took over the farms from their fathers. Good luck with your door knocking.

David 686 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) It's easy mate. Never knock on a farm house door with Camo on or in a car that looks like you want to play in the mud. Knock on your own not with a group of Camo wearing gorillas. Have a CV type letter with your info on. Eg your insurance and your happy to shoot mid week. Good luck mate Keep them dropping. Ps look smart and clean don't forget your asking a farmer that doesn't know you to walk around his land with a GUN Edited February 15, 2013 by David 686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add ,do the foot work /door knocking at the begining of the post, ATB Flynny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Pinning ? This is where the PW mods make a small doll which resembles you somewhat and stick pins in it every time they think you deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
