Kevster66 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi all This may have been asked before, but when in most peoples opinion is the best time to start looking for new permissions? Would it be better to start now or wait until it nearer to spring/summer? Cheers all Stay Safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clangerman Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 no such thing as a bad time to look for perms most important part is knock when they are on the crop and don’t stop knocking until you get a perm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers all Stay Safe Look now the game season is all but over , the main crop will o s r , if there are Pigeons in your area then find out what woods they are using and then try to follow them out in the mornings and with a bit of luck they will show you where there food supply is. Find out whose land it is and then start knocking on the doors , you will get set backs , or you could strike lucky with the first door you knock on . GOOD LUCK MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeydredd Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 After lockdown ends will probably be the best time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon addict Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Came across a bunch of pigeons on a standing maize game cover. Not huge numbers but most I’ve seen since last year! I suppose there were about 40 and this was 10am so my guess is there’d be more in the afternoon. It’s not my ground; however, do you think I should ask for permission since it’s only a game cover? Or should I wait until the pigeons are actually hitting a combinable crop? Haven’t worked out who farms the ground yet but guessing there’s a syndicate.

London Best Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 If it is a game cover it is obviously someone’s shoot. So I would say it is one of the less likely places for an outsider to be given permission. But there is no harm in trying. Good luck!

There will be beaters and pickers up on that shoot who have been waiting for months for a chance to shoot pigeons there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

County is barren currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
