al4x Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 It's like cabbages here and almost wants some pigeons on it but rare to see them hitting anything other than the thinnest spots. This thread should have some mileage on it once we get some reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasterjudd Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Has anyone ever got a reply to this one? It seems to have all gone very silent i never got a reply back from a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosmith Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 people havent not had a reply, i was just a little p'edd off with some of the pms i got sent slating me for offering shooting up admitidly not so bad on this site but on bbs god forbid lol. all i was trying to do was actaully help you guys the shooters out and the farmer.........and getting all up and going meeting the people i had no gain what so ever and to be shot down i was upset and thought sod everyone if this is how im going to be treated at the end of the day it had made no odds to me i dont even shoot pigeons for the farmer and happen to work on the opposite farm. yes alot of people showed interest and due to me not actually having enough information (my own doing not going to lie) then trying to meet up with farmer when we both have our own comitments is not easy. i also have no doubt farmer will also be on it next time i see him and perhaps can go from there,,,,,,,,,i did have numerous phone conversations with potentail people and came to conclusuion is going to be dificult to run considering i have be to work for 8am and the famer is gone before 7.30 and not home til gone 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I had a nice long chat with Theo when he first placed the post/offer. His last paragraph pretty much explains what difficulties ensued. Has anyone ever got a reply to this one?It seems to have all gone very silent i never got a reply back from a pm.

theosmith Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 to which i will admitidly put my hands up and take some rap for it as perhaps these things should had been raised by me first, and for the vast majority people wanted weekend shooting that showed interest....now i dont mind helping people out but in terms of time it would take me over and hour there and back and with a person and probably |£5er in diesel but like said and discussed i will relay this back to the farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasterjudd Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Hi Theo Fair comment and totally understood. Sometimes trying to help people out and making such a generous offer of a day out can lead you into just too much hastle. Not everyone on here truly understands the way of the country and how its still a great privelige to gain permission to shoot over someones land. This also means you dont always shoot lots but its still great to be out in the countryside watching the world go by! I felt you were very brave in making the offer in the first place. Hope it all works out for you. to which i will admitidly put my hands up and take some rap for it as perhaps these things should had been raised by me first, and for the vast majority people wanted weekend shooting that showed interest....now i dont mind helping people out but in terms of time it would take me over and hour there and back and with a person and probably |£5er in diesel but like said and discussed i will relay this back to the farmer Just read Theo's post, he has made a fair comment and totally understood!

theosmith Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 im not trying to make excuses etc etc but willl genuinely speak to farmer. as with phonecall with mark and another amir there were so much pitfuls that hadnt been thought of. at the end of the day he still wants the birds shot! he also does have a syndicate which is shotgun only and has 14guys on now i know this is up for renewel this month for these guys and i dont know exactly what he is going to do as may involve them being removed due to the job not being done.

theosmith Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 to and only to the people who had previously pm'ed me im willing to take you on another plot of land and shoot with you. only if you have no land of your own and have all the gear, insurance etc etc as above think of it as compensation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allme Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Theo It can be difficult to arrange these days and I am glad to see there are still some people who will put themselves out to help other people. I myself have been trying to get local permissions and know they are very difficult to come by in this area. Hope your day goes well and the people appreciate the time you have spent on its arrangement. If you do manage to arrange any local events please pm me as I would be interested in attending.
