Farmboy91 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Great stuff 👍 The first one I got held very little shooting, but it opened up to a much bigger farm and hopefully with a pinch of luck another bit of ground in the near future. You'll be able to name drop now, hopefully it will lead to plenty more for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hod Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Whilst this is great news, I can’t help but feel slightly cheated at the lack of curly haircuts in this thread 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I can remember getting my first permission, all 10 acres of it. Shot my first ducks and my first snipe on it....sadly I can't shoot there now due to the owner losing his land in a divorce and his ex wife's new man persuading her to sell up the land rather than letting the son inherit it. More of my areas history gone because of a damn social climber. Best of luck with it and future permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam triple Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Ok so just been to see farmer only a small farm, the area he wants me to shoot is ideal for the air rifle as there are houses backing onto to this field ,he rears cattle with about 2 dozen calf’s in the barn as usual crows and jackdaws everywhere so he wants me to remove these as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
