fuzzypigeon Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is it any wonder permission is so hard to come by!?! Just had a call from the farmer, are you out today? No mate why? He said there is 2 people shooting on the field next to the one he is drilling. I said ill pop down and have a look for you. He calls me back, he says don't worry I've got rid of them. 2 young lads just turned up set their hide and decoys up and were just about ready to start shooting when he was there. Admittedly only with air rifles but none the less is this not why many farmers are so unsure who to give permission to!?! They came out with the excuse we shoot for such and such farms, the farmer said well F off onto their land and get off mine lol. It does make me laugh how people seem to think they can roll up anywhere and shoot. It's a common thing near me either with airguns, quads and coursing.

Dunkield Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I turned up at a golf course I used to shoot, saw a car parked up in a layby near by and didn't think much of it. It was too early to shoot as there were still a few golfers out, so I had a walk about and saw a body laid out with gun. I walked up behind him and asked what he was doing, he was from eastern Europe, and politely said "It doesn't say anywhere I can't shoot" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 "It doesn't say anywhere I can't shoot" Lol, hmm generally there aren't signs up to say you cant rape, pillage, murder and eat babies but the law and society still frowns upon these activities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it's the same ********* who spend £500 on a gun and then ask on the forums where they can go to shoot. Hopefully the farmer confiscated the air rifles and cut them up.
