Hi
I have been shooting now for around 12 years and for the last 5 years with my son (He is now 16 and ‘possibly’ a better shot than me...sometimes)
We live in Northants (Crick to be exact) and have recently unfortunately lost our long-term pigeon/corvid rights over 2,000 acres of arable due to the farmer Selling them commercial rights to a large outfit
If anyone has crops where pest control is needed in Northants/Leicestershire/Warwickshire my son and i would be pleased to help(Free of charge of course!)
Many Thanks

That's bad nick, I have a shared permission where one gun leaves dead pigeons and cartridges everywhere, I've mentioned it to the farmer and picked up all his mess for fear of being blamed, as is often said permission is hard to come by and easy to lose, good luck to the op hope you find some shooting soon

I can understand that you guys seem very bitter...from your experiences I assume...but don’t tar everyone with the same brush as the inconsiderate and untrustworthy few...that’s a common problem in our Country it seems
