driver59 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi folks. Same old same old, I am new to pigeon watch and I suppose I am asking the same question loads of other people are asking , I am looking for land to shoot on. I live in the north Northants, south Leicestershire area aged 55. I am available most weekends and evenings as I cant afford not to work, I have insurance and shotgun licence. if I cant shoot all the pigeon I can at least scare them thanks for reading this at least.

artschool Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 i was joking! chances of getting shooting from the forum are slim. you would be better getting out and knocking on some doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver59 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 just what I need a comedian, lol. As you say knocking doors is the best way and I have been trying but to no avail, I just thought id give it a go to post on pigeon watch, but I will keep using the forum if for nothing else just for the witty banter. Its nice to think that it doesn't have to be serious all the time. thanks though artschool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I wouldn't take too much notice of the negative comments , many members have found vermin shooting through this section, most of the contacts coming from PM's/emails, not posts on the thread. Get your location on your profile and participate around the Forum and invitations can come. There are also opportunities to "buy" some very reasonably priced pigeon shooting days, in the other part of this section. Knocking on doors is the best way, especially when the birds are actually causing damage on the crops, that tends to focus the landowners attention.

I like the last statement Farmers being farmers they never do anything till they have to, if their shooter aint been around in a bit and they are loosing money you will certainly find heightened interest in you request.

bikemad24 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 once you get that first perm it gets easier and easier to get more land imo. Dont turn anything down, iv had small holdings before now that have led to being asked to shoot on big farms. Good luck. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsallpl Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Try the leicestershire Wildfowlers. You would have to join, but they have a crop protection section and organised roost shoots in the winter. A great way to get to know other shooters as well.

kyska Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 further to an pm from the mods i would like to apologise to driver59. my post was just meant to be a lighthearted joke but i seem to have caused offence. It was obviously tongue in cheek, I saw it and I'm thick as ****. You don't need to apologise, you just got pm'd rather than censored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
