New Permission.

[andyfr1968 772]

Hi, folks.

 

An old gamekeeper mate rang me up last night to ask if I'd give him a hand to knock over some bunnies that were wrecking an ornamental garden with a padock next door.

 

We got there at about ten this morning expecting to have the whole day there but after about an hour the landowner turned up and we got chatting. Turns out my mate can't get over there too often so she asked me if I wouldn't mind helping out. Result!!!!

 

I only got the one kit this time 'cos most of the rest of the time we were talkng and watching her train her two German Flatcoat retrievers.

 

It's only a small plot but there's loads of bunnies there and she said she'd ask the bloke who owns a large wood that boarders the padock if I could shoot on there too as that's where many of them come from. Finger's crossed.......

 

The only down side is it's twenty odd miles from where I live but I can cope with that.

 

Cheers!!

Thanks, S T.

 

It'd be great if I can score the wood. While we were there we watched loads of pigeons flying in and out.

 

I really wll work out how to post pics on here soon. I've taken a good few this past few outings with a view to do just that. I'm a bit of a techno F-wit.....

 

Cheers.

Nice one mate ....Must have been a day for it yesterday, I got offered 230 acres about 7 miles from home Rabbits galour.....Shame I cant get on it for about 3 weeks got another 24 days solid of 4am starts up at 3.30 Im in bed by 9

[andyfr1968 772]

Thanks, fellas.

 

My main shoot at the moment is a large wood on a managed estate.

 

It's a beautiful proper big bit of very old woodland and I used to have free access to it but the management changed a few years back and now I can only go if the head keeper's about. A bit of a pain.....

 

Mustn't grumble though 'cos I know there's many folks have no permission at all.

 

All the other shoots I get these days are like the way todays sesh started. "Can I come and shoot these whatever's please?". Two or three outings, then that's it so to have proper access to somewhere again is great!

 

Cheers.

 

PS. Thanks, Tony. I'll download that software and let you know.

 

Double Edit.... Plus I can't take friends to my old shoot and I owe a shoot or two in return for members kind offers and help....

 

This new spot's cool already!!

Well done, my first permissions were 50 miles from my house, and we used to ferret and shoot it every weekend, you have to take what you can get
