haha like your style pal and i know the keepered place i was picking up on as i look after it but as for shooting with the airgun theres literally no rabbits no grey squirrels and pigeons and crows i decoy with the shotgun there very very warey ..... im looking for some nice summer spots that i can get to and stalk rabbits and ive had several farmers close to home ive approached with a huge feral pigeon problem i got out the car and introduced my self politley and without me even getting to the point i got a "no" it just seems that hard that farmers can't trust anyone
