johnboy19 38 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well, about 2 weeks ago I sent out about 10 letters. Wasn't expecting to hear much back but hoped for the best. Came in from work today, and 2 letters were waiting for me One was just a letter letting me know they had people shooting already but were going to keep my letter, should the opportunity for me to shoot there arise. The other was a signed permission slip, with a note asking to give the farmer a call to sort out some ground rules. Well phone them and spoke to his wife, she said he just wanted to let me know what I can and can't shoot etc, and she will get him to phone me back. So im hoping to get out there this weekend, and I will be taking my camera to get some pics for you lot. Im hoping the farm is jumping with bunnies but if its not im sure there will be plenty more quarry. And the good thing is its only 3 miles from the permission i already have Cheers, John Quote Link to post

johnboy19 38 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Cheers lads. Spoke the farmer earlier. He said the rabbits were all wiped out by mixy a while back, but has a lot of crows nesting and wants rid. Going for a visit on Saturday without the gun, to speak to him and have a wander about, so should be out crow bashing on Sunday or Monday Went to my other permission tonight. Not much about. Sat outside a burrow for about half an hour, and one popped out on the other side of the fence from me sat and watched it for about 15 mins before trying to move into a better position, and spooked the bugger ah well Cheers, John Quote Link to post

Not to sure about the hole shooting hares with airguns thing anyway. Yeh its very hard to get near crows, but if the young ones are still in the nests I will just wait till they are all coming back in to nest. Think ill take a rabbit out the freezer and use it to bait them in some time aswell. Anyway i've not even been yet so who know what will come of it? Cheers, John Quote Link to post
