col s10 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 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...thats whats wrong with country a nation of moaners Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well I have Monday and Tuesday off to go round as many farms as I can find locally so fingers crossed..... Cheers Jon Dress smartly, be polite, and any knock backs should be answered with a 'may I ask you again in six months time' reply.
