Topgunners Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Well, as you can ALL see. I have let this topic run for a couple of days now and the culprits have not been on to defend or apologize for their actions. So, be it. THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE, and if they choose to remain GUTLESS that is their prerogative. As you all know we have been on this forum for a long time now and have done many favours to members of this forum from here and overseas and also assisted many members with our advice and knowledge on pest control, shooting, tactics and the like. We must be active as often as possible, and ALWAYS are. We put in many hours and miles and ££££££££££££'s EVERY week of the year to pursue our job, sport, whatever you wish to call it. We don't just shoot weekends but are also about through the week and at night also. What we loathe are the "glory hunters" who mooch about only when the drilling and combining is being carried out by the farmers and then you don't see them through the wet,cold,icy months of the year. NOW once bitten, we will be DEFINITELY twice shy. Dave K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham M Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Just read through this and can sympathise to some extent as I have had the same thing done to me. I agree that the farmer can give shooting to anyone who turns up on a regular basis to shoot and if he chooses to give your little shoot to another “Gunâ€, then you can’t complain because you don’t own anything. However! If you take someone under your wing, or perhaps show a friend your little bit of paradise, and then find that they are worming their way into the farmers good-books so that they can steal your shoot………that is unforgivable. The trouble is it will now spoil things for any newbie shooter who wants to learn the ropes, because many of us will now be very reluctant to take anyone out with us in case they are the people mentioned, and who then poach the shoot behind our backs.

deadeye ive Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The reason I have submitted this post is because I had a tear up this week with a Father & son team who shoot some of the ground I shoot. Cos they only shoot one day at the weekend every other week and I am in attendance 2 & 3 times a week they seemed to think I was spoiling their shooting. They were foolish enough to make this statement to the farm manager, who in return replied- 'What you think the control of pigeons on this land is here for you exclusively? I tell you what, I'll make you right- if I dont see you at least one day during the week as well as the one day at the weekend you're not coming at all- and thats fact- Oh and thats starting this week like it or not. Be careful fella's, remember you only have exclusive rights if you own the land you shoot on! Regards Starlight32 It's a very good point you make . There is still a need for conduct like a Gentleman which is Topgunners point has these fella's are,nt strangers . No doubt he'll Pm certain folks informing them on who the culprits are .......Would'nt mind knowing myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I share my shoot with some other guys, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. That said if I was to shoot on someone elses permission as a guest, I wouldn't turn up on my own the next day and try to get it for myself. Having another shooter you get on with to share your permission is a good thing, it halves the chances of you not being around when the birds are doing the damage and the farmer stays happy. It's pretty rude that this guy went behind your back to shoot though, he could have asked if he could shoot with you and got the same result in a more polite manner.

the hitman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The farmer has the right to let who he wants on his land , BUT it is not pigeon shooters etiquette to step on a fellow shooters toes and go behind his back and contact the farmer himself. Yes it has happened to me and i know how Topgunners feels , very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykayaker Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have had the same thing happen to me,some one i used to take and got him a shotgun on my ticket and helped him get his sgc went and got permission off the farmer him self, and now takes others along with him on MY permision as i have stated times before on here bewear who you take with you, so if i think its the same people as in your photo TOPGUNNER then i am afraid i have no simpathy but there again i would not do it myself as ALL THE PERMISSION I SHOOT IS MINE and i have shot it for 5years plus The Dirty B**tard , Was it someone from PigeonWatch???

Topgunners Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 WELL, as I have just got back from my holiday I went out yesterday and whilst sitting watching some pigeons flying over the fields a man approached me with 2 springers and started to read me the riot act as he seemed to be the local cleaner-upper? /shoooter. and related to me that over 78 pigeons had been dumped in the ditch by the lazy shooters in question and the land owner and the local council and Police Department have been informed. So I am now going out today to have a word with the farmer's in question and tell them what has happened and to apologise. And we hope the two mis-fits are really proud of their ****HOLE actions ^&^(^%%^^%O^^&^^&^&%$£$$$U((*((*)()( Dave K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 sorry to hear that dave but on the bright side i don't think they will be shooting your land for much longer? also farmers spread the word around quite quick so they could lose all they have . just clear your own name the rest will fall into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
