How would you feel in this situation?

Just a shame it had to come to an open forum to sort out.

 

Surely you guys are big enough to have a chat on the phone about it and either go you separate ways or make up.

 

Bit of a misunderstanding to be honest I think.

People are obviously very delicate. It's the farmers land and it's up to him who he lets shoot on it. If someone wants to offer their services on land where there may not be people shooting, due to holidays etc, I don't see a problem.

 

It may not be the "done thing" but that is life. I think some people on here need to HTFU. B)

+1, as a shooter, and.....

 

+1 as a farmer too.

 

Gets very boring, this "stealing" permission. Not entirely sure they are the right type to be trusted, and not just with guns, either.

 

I have cleared, I.E. revoked the permission, of "people" like this - your farmer will probably feel the same way. Have a word with him/her.

 

its happened to me, I asked a few years ago for help lamping, explained to the guy it was just helping me by holding the lamp and nothing more and it was not a open invertation to return, on getting out of the car he grabs his rifle and walking onto my permission I didn't say anything and just got on with things...turns out he was useless at foxing and lamping....to top it off hes knocking on the farmers door 3 days later asking for permission!!! it just goes to show watch out who you take out with you!!! I will only take out the regular 3/4 lads off here and no-one else.

If i get stopped by the Police when in transit with my Guns , i have to show written Permission to shoot, i understand that this land is a verbal permission. I do not like leaving things in a grey area. Unless i am wrong where the Law is concerned

 

You don't need written permission to shoot any where especially on a shoot you were invited to as a guest the same as you don't need to prove to the police you have written permission whilst carrying your guns. Fair enough the farmer said come anytime but "You" should of said thanks but this is Bleehs permission and if "He" invites me again I would come back, but not on my own.

Its not delicate at all its an issue of trust, If it was random land then no issue but the big issue is the fact Bleeh has invited him to shoot on the land and got the ok from the farmer and AP thought it fine to shoot when Bleeh was away. A huge difference to finding your own permissions and treading on peoples toes.

Ultimately its the farmers land but the introduction was done without this in mind, there are a few things ringing alarm bells like "I've got enough land to shoot" well why be keen to shoot some an hour away then..... I shoot with a few people on here and we all get along fine but unless they asked me I wouldn't be going along without them.

You are forgetting one simple thing that costs nothing...............good manners.

 

Something that seems sadly lacking with some.

I'm not sure about this bit - possession of firearms/shotguns with a valid certificate is lawful regardless of where you're going/coming from. You shouldn't need to prove to the police where you are going or have been by way of written permission....or have I got this wrong?

This is why you should only invite people you know personaly & always seek permissions first.I share a perm with a mate who works off shore so he can not always commit. I have a good friend who helps me out with the ferreting who i fully trust when my mates off shore.In return i offer him roost shooting & some days on the pigeons but only after seeking perm from farmer.And also discuss this with my shooting buddy.

I have been invited to shoot on other peoples permissions and for me their permission is their permission - I would NEVER pass my own details to the farmer but wait and see if the person who invited me needs me to do him a favour with crop protection or because he couldnt make it for a while and needed someone to be there - then I would ask HIM for a permission slip NOT the farmer. For me as AL4X has said its a matter of trust and honesty.

 

I am firmly with Bleeh on this and believe the explanation given by the other party is insufficient for the weight of transgression. I hope you can sort it out but If I were Bleeh, a grovelling apology would be an essential precursor and a confirmation that you will never shoot his permission unless invited specifically to do so.

Bleeh (from his posts) is a pleasant reasonable chap and he doesnt deserve this treatment.

Lots of over reaction here, this should not of been put in the open forum. A phone call from Bleeh could reassure him of only my good intentions. Thank god i can speak to him on the blower in half hour to sort this out.

 

I admit i do not have much experience with pigeon shooting, but i have plenty to offer people in return for a day out with anyone. Rabbit shooting on 3 permissions, High seats for Deer, Fox shooting and even a shooting hide thats big enough to sleep 3 .

May not be the done thing !!! I expect integrity and honesty from people, whichever way you dress it up it's a snide thing to do to a fellow shooter. Hope you are as philosophical about the "Done Thing" if a similar set of circumstances ever befall you. :mad:

There is one thing about a thread like this and it shows who the people with no morals are.

This reminds me of a time talking to a shooter in my local pub, they;d just returned from a pheasant drive, I had my gun with me and got talking to one lad about pigeon shooting, he asked where I shot and I said 'just down the road', he said 'oh is that xxxx farm or xxxx farm', I told him the right one.

 

Couple of days later I get a phonecall at the farm and this plonker said he'd spoken to 'Kyska' in the the local pub and said that I'd needed some help on the pigeon.

 

I told him who I was and to **** off, lying little lamb.

Right guys.

It's an interesting situation and I see there is a fairly wide view of opinions.

Anyhow, I've had a chat with Actionman and I think it was a combination of over enthusiasm, confusion about shooting law, and frankly just a big old mess. What I honestly don't believe it was, I think I misinterpreted some of what he was saying and prehaps jumped to conclusions.

I do believe that this was not any sort of act to steal permission, and Actionman has apologized profusely, and we have the matter settled.

And with that I've asked to have the thread locked. If anyone wants to start a new one about the subject of permissions not related to this one, feel free.


Andrew.
