Yonic Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Just need to have a moan somewhere. I'm really struggling to get some land to shoot on.. I had some land previously that could shoot on but according to the land owner after I'd shot the 3 foxes in a week I'd sorted it out so he didn't need my services anymore, I also have a lake I can shoot on but that is limited to the game season. I live on a estate in Wiltshire and even though I was beating on most of the days they had last season and get on well with the keeper I don't seam to be able to get permission for even a bit of pest control. Today I spoke to the keeper just to ask if there was somewhere I could do some zeroing on but he said they didn't have anywhere for it??? the estate is over 3000 acres I can think of a fair few areas that would be fine... I've took a couple of friends to the lake I shoot on last season and we had some good flights but no return invites, The one chap has land to shoot but the land owners don't want others there since a couple of youngsters shot some ducks with air rifles when they were there to shoot crows... It just seams that I'm trying everything I can to sort out some shooting but keep drawing blanks, I've got a 30 acre field as my back garden that usually has a least a couple of foxes on at night and numerous Jackdaws and other corvids I could sit in my garden and shoot most of them which is just making it even worse that I can't go anywhere to shoot them. My time is a bit limited by the fact we have a 2 year old and the Wife doesn't have any hobbies so me trying to find time for mine goes down like a lead balloon, I just feel so frustrated by it all at the moment to the point where I'm wondering why I have the guns I have.. I'd wouldn't sell them but don't know what more I can do to sort something out.... Don't necessarily need answer to this and not looking for invites just needed to have a really good moan.... Thanks for reading this if you got this far... Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yonic Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Its a life in general moan to be honest but seamed to end up a a shooting moan.. Based near Cirencester, the trouble is if Its was that sort of distance the Wife will kick off so much its not worth it.. Also can't really plink with a 6.5x55 and a 223. Thanks for the replies though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
