vampire Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Got the call from one of my farmers today,pigeons are hitting fields of peas he is going twice a day with rope bangers. As I understand it the new general licence gl31 version 2 may 2019,we do not need individual licence for woodpigeon crop protection if we have fulfilled its requirements.have read it twice and that's as I understand it. Anyway,hope to get a couple of hours out if only to check on flight lines and record the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 The farmer has tried other non lethal methods which are failing, you are authourised by him/her to protect the crop by shooting the pigeons as per the terms in the Gl. Crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yes indeed, we have been called by one of the Farmers whose land we cover as the soya is just breaking through the surface of the soil. We will be out on Sunday and after exhausting all none lethal methods we may just have to shoot some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Just go and shoot them. The new licence is not very different to the old one, and we all complied with that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
