Badger Bob Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) I was told by someone from another forum to put this post on here.So this is it. As I have tried all the farmers around here To find somewhere to shoot my air rifle without success I am giving up .So its back up in the loft for my Mercury.The reason I will find it hard is that my wife works funny shifts(shes a bus driver)So she works lots of weekends and I have to look after my 2 boys.Why I was after somewhere local was after I had dropped the boys off at school I could then do a few hours shooting untill I had to pick them up again.It meant that I could only do a few weekends and a few days during the school holidays when my wife had her days off.At least that was the plan but as shooting is so popular now it is pretty near impossable to find anywhere nowadays.Not like the old days.Still such is life.Bob Edited April 18, 2008 by Badger Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Master Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Don't give up Bob. Sometimes permissions will just fall in your lap, you just need to take advantage when the opportunity arises. For example, this morning one of my clients came to see me for a motor trade insurance policy. We got talking about it and it turns out he will be salvaging and breaking cars. His "yard" is on a patch of land owned by a friend. I immediately mentioned that I was looking for land to hunt on, my client tells me his friend will be more than happy to let me shoot there as he is inundated with rabbits, squirrels and rats. Long story short, I am off to have a look at my new permission this weekend. You just have to seize opportunity when you can. Ask all you mates to spread the word, you will find somewhere eventually. Its not what you know, its who you know. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfect Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 A guy at my work place lives next door to a farm and i mentioned i pest control rats on 3 farms, he said if you want i will ask the farmer next door if you can shoot on his land so fingers crossed i might have another permission soon, all this happened last night out of the blue..
