brecon3 13 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Dear Sir/ Madam Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is ___________, I am a XX years old, air gun hunter living in XXXXXXXX. I am writing to you concerning any pest control problems you may have on your farm and farm buildings. I am a courteous, patient and intelligent person by nature, always willing to learn, and follow instructions to the letter. I also never take shots that will in any way risk livestock or farm buildings. I am just willing to take a risk in even aiming a shot in that direction. I ask nothing in return for my services other than a continuous right to hunt the property and a friendly wave as I come and go. If you do decide to grant me permission to hunt on your land I will first have to meet you for you to show me the land bounderies that I may shoot upon. There are many species of pests including: Feral Pigeons, in areas close to towns they may use nearby farm buildings and lofts for a night-time roost. Feral's carry lice and their excrement is both toxic and disease ridden including tuberculosis, encephalitis, lyme's disease (pigeon fanciers lung) paratyphoid, ornithosis, toxoplasmosis, and a type of flu all these diseases are potently fatal they also cause untold crop damage. Rats, which consume and contaminate feed as well as chew through electric cables and nest in the walls of buildings, silos and water tanks. They also carry a pretty nasty disease called weil's disease which is life threatening Crows and magpies, these animals carry lice and a host of other parasites, they damage the nests of songbirds, by raiding the nests and eating the eggs. Crows have also been known to attack new born lambs. Rabbits can dig up your paddock causing holes which stock may injure them-selves; they can also bury around the footings of buildings causing them to be unstable. Rabbits have been known to consume considerable portions of feed laid out for stocks in paddocks. The above list is the more common species but there are also jays, jackdaws, rooks, collard dove, grey squirrel, magpies, and mink I would be willing to sign a total disclaimer for any injury that I occur whilst on the property. I shoot with a quiet air rifle, but I also have the option of using some traps/ snares should the situation require it. I will dispose of all pests off the property and any quality game such as rabbit or pigeon first offered to the property owner on request. Thank-you for giving me a little of your time, I do apologise to any anti hunters I may have inadvertently sent this letter to, but rest assured I am doing my best to actively promote safe hunting and removal of pest species. If you are interested in my services please write to me at the address above, or EMAIL me at campiper1@hotmail.com thank-you, I hope to hear from you soon.

(credit goes to airgunbbs.com) Have another look at the sentence I have marked in red. Also I would leave out the description of what pest species carry for diseases and what damage they do, as any farmer will be well aware of that and it is a bit like trying to teach granny how to suck eggs. But that is just my humble opinion. ATB Michael Quote Link to post
