Bigbob Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Where about roughly in fife , there's shooting available if you knock on doors . Don't go near the big shoot areas or Loch Leven its all tied up with duck and goose shooting Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much door knocking have you done and what response have you got ? , have you tried any of your local shoots for a few days beating ? , is there any local or fairly near wildfowling clubs that you could become a member , as most , if not all our local W A clubs have a fair bit of Pigeon shooting that don't get over shot . I ask these questions as I am only used to the area I live in and I can honestly say that shooting is not that difficult to get , but like most counties you have to go out and get it as it don't normally come to you without you doing a fair bit of leg work .

bishop Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Got myself off the mark in that regard m8,managed a patch just the other day thankfully , but in comparison with my home county of Fife I find East Lothian a different ball game all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 The first perm is always the hardest , now you have got somewhere you can refer to the owner when you are inquiring near by , you can say , while you were on Mr xxxxx o s r or whatever crop you were on , you noticed a lot of Pigeons were going on your xxxxx , is there any chance in trying to keep them off ?
