[QUOTE="Overby, post: 7899266, member: 111610"] A query for those tenants amongst us (or those with knowledge on such matters). Our landlord has upped his commercial shooting enterprise. The farm has several woodlands dotted around it and these are now all occupied by commercial shoots. The woodlands are not part of the tenancy, the surrounding fields are. We get on well with the landlord and are on good terms but the shooting aspect has become a bit of an issue. The individuals who are in the shoot have now taken to (without informing us) driving all their vans and pick ups etc into our fields that surround the woods. They then park wherever they like, exit said vehicles and 'sweep', Rambo style through our AB9 towards the woods, guns out and cocked (not a few metres, they creep through a 5 ha plot in a 30 acre field). A grass field we don't drive on in the winter to preserve the condition was awash with pick ups racing over it 2 weeks back. There is obviously the Game Acts and the Wildlife Act etc, which are in our tenancy, as is usual, but this seems a bit off. We also have a few horses, (with LL permission) and these areas now being ridden roughshod over are where the horses get hacked, so they're either out of bounds or the riders get terrified. Is all this normal? The shooters aren't entering the land for rodent control, the birds are bred in the woods for commercial purposes. The LL has the shooting rights but this is randoms who've paid to shoot in the woods, strutting all around the farm, guns out. Do people who buy shooting syndicates off the LL for the adjacent woods have unlimited access to our entire farm as and when they please? I'm all for give and take but not a fan of taking the pi55. Any experience? [/QUOTE]
