Pigeon Shredder. Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 You need to change the choke on your gun, from the picture it's either 3/4 or full , far to many pellets centered, or did said "boot" jump out at you on a walked up shoot?

spandit Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I offered to return the boot and was told to dispose of it. I have that in writing. I'm a big man on an anonymous Internet forum but in real life I'm surprisingly polite . Plan A is to keep everything pleasant although I have some stuff saved up should I need Plan B 11 minutes ago, Pigeon Shredder. said: You need to change the choke on your gun, from the picture it's either 3/4 or full , far to many pellets centered, or did said "boot" jump out at you on a walked up shoot?

I have permission, in writing, to dispose of the boot after I offered to return it to the rightful owner. It is now in a skip. I am perfectly within my rights to destroy it. I have not taunted the council with threats of obliterating their property and would not return the object in such a condition. If it should come to a legal battle over a decision then there are several areas where the council have not acted in accordance with their own guidelines and others where they may well have broken the law. I am keeping my powder dry at the moment as I don't want to start shelling out on solicitor's fees in the hope this will be resolved amicably.

Snoozer Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Checking Google maps will indicate what size it was pre edge trimming as most of the images are years old. Still have the old peoples bungalows down the road on Google maps and they got knocked down over 6 years ago :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have the old peoples bungalows down the road on Google maps and they got knocked down over 6 years ago :( Google maps doesn't give a very clear 3D image. The LIDAR data for this area is only accurate to 1m, not covered by the 25cm survey. I think they're more worried about the bund I've created collapsing but it's been standing for several months in pretty horrible weather and hasn't shown any signs of it so far. There's a lot of water in it (filled up about a week ago) and it's already attracting wildlife. I think these are amphibious stinkhounds...
