Saturday morning I said Today got there around 6.30 set up for 7 coming in like jets all day packed up at 12 went back in yard he started saying sorry his not seen much about and his waited are time ect until he saw what was in the bag .... 120 crows 6 pigeon 2 rabbits His face lit up said thank you and said those magic words ... I have 4000 acres on maize and wheat and barley come when ever you want also a bad problem with foxes so given me the rights for the foxes goose pigeon crows rabbits He said no one is interested in shooting it constant they turn up for a few hours and that's it never to be seen again Happy happy happy Edited August 3, 2013 by the pigeon man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccles Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well done bud. plenty of shooting to be had if you do a good job,word soon gets round the other farmers ,they always chat etc in live stock markets. Don't let them down is the key if they say something wants shooting get there asap even if you don't get much shooting that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokie Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've got about 1500 acres in south Cheshire . We're going on the pigeons tomorrow . Got one stubble field we shot last week resulted in 72 woodies . But they are hitting flat spots in the barley at the moment . Farmer says there's a few hundred hammering it so stocked up on carts today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 You are doing very well at the corvid control of late. The farmers will love you especially if you are paying for your own shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 A brilliant result, and good shooting too. My mate and I have recently picked up a farm, where we can only shoot Corvids with air rifles or .22LR. The farmer has other ground, but we know he's testing us to see how good and reliable we are, before he (hopefully) allows us there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
