Smycker Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hello all Rediscovered my love for shooting about a year ago now having a go at the clays but thought it time to take the next step with a bit of the proper stuff. Used to love the early morning duck trips with my dad and would love a go at driven game someday. Hoping to find somewhere to have a go at the woodies or crows so questions regarding decoying etc will follow soon. Merry christmas and a happy new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodcock1 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hi there and welcome, Im in the ballymena district too, Portglenone to be more specific. You are in good shooting country, no shortage of opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smycker Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hello woodcock1. How did u go about getting permissions. Did u just cold call some farmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcock1 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Pick the ground that looks promising, go to the nearest farm house and explain you would like to do some shooting and you would like to know who who owns the land at "wherever"? Quite often they will own it or know who does. That is the only way to get it. Go ask. There are very few farmers that will refuse you in this part of the world.

Smycker Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks bud will give it a go and keep the fingers crossed. Used to shoot ground near ballylesson road with my da until he was forced to retire from shooting through back problems. I was asking him about it today but he thinks it might have been turned into a sanctuary or something. Must try and track down the owner as its a fabulous piece of ground always had a bit of something to offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
