bear-uk Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi. Does any one know if there is a particular number to phone when going out shooting? Never bothered before but on last outing had some grieve from a resident and bumped into a few folk on a footpath. So though it would be prudent to try cover my ***. Thanks.

Luckyshot Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 101 I would have thought but so long as you have permission to shoot there I wouldn't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-uk Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have been through the web site and cant find any other numbers besides 101. As Stated, I feel it wise this time due to certain residents kicking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal72 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 101 just saves the hassel if someone reports a person with a gun firearms dont have to be despatched just to find out you are there legally they will give you a log number I usually give them a ring back when finished so if anything should happen after ive left im covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search,it has been done to death and then resurrected more times than zombie movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex Hunter Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I only do it on one farm as the previous shooter there was using one of those 1 million candle power lamps and was waving it around like in the Jurassic park film!! It caused the police to call in at the farm the next day...so the owner asked me to ring in. Not a problem as it takes 4 mins, however on the other 7 farms I never bother... One owner has 4 farms with 3 quite close and I often cover all 3 so it would be unpractical to call in 3 times... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsonicnat Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Trouble with this phoning they will think its part of your shooting, leave well alone till it does, some barm pot will come up with the idea if we talk about it enough: ssssssshhhhhhhhh.

matone Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 They`d soon get fed up if everyone did ring everytime they went out ! Overload would be the word I think ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljaddy12 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Did alot of lamping in same area last year text farmer as he requests just so he knows were there tel 101 and notify to make things right 3 out of 3 got local constabulary giving us the usual know their doing their job but the 101 call with registration should have kept hassle to minimum it didn't i don't bother ringing any more tbh got permission in car and a legal reason to be there each to there own dont seem to make much difference whether you ring em or not here.

welsh1 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 You don't have to read it My comment was not toward the op,who asked a legitimate question for alternative phone numbers,it was at the rest who will say yes call every time you go out/no never call them. In the last year we have done it to death at least twice with no positive out come apart from endless repetition on the same vein. You are right i don't have to read it, but as it is an open forum i can do what you have just done, and express an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yep 101 it is. I find North Yorks call handlers very good when calling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
