Spoonix Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Im on this forum no end, and the posts are extremely helpful, you all certainly know what your talking about, or you're all good liars Im currently on the arduous quest of gaining shooting permission. However i'm not looking for a hand out, want to gain it on my own my problem is I'm an air rifle shooter, so that means rabbits, rats, squirrels and the odd pigeon etc. however I'm just wondering if there is a different approach to asking permission if you have an air rifle as apposed to a shotgun? Will that put farmers off? I own my own airgun forum, i wont post the link because im not sure if the admins like it, but its fairly successful, so i know what im doing, just wanting to know really if its likely for them to say yes. I have BASA insurance also. Cheers in advance. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think it does influence their decision, not really a great tool for pigeon control but they are ideal for rabbit control. My tactic would be to find the rabbits in numbers, note the damage being done (crescents in crop, damage to banks / land etc) and offer to solve that problem. Often opens the door to more permission.
