Joe87 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi guys! Myself and a friend took up shooting last year but struggled to find a permission so it was kind of put on the back burner but last week we recieved an email from the head groundskeeper of a local golf course asking if we could shoot the course for rabbits, grey squirrels and crows which of course we couldn't turn down. We are both fairly new to hunting but so i'm just asking for some advice on the best ways and times to hunt this quarry? Any advice would be much appreciated.

walshie 2,804 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Being a golf course, it would have to be very very early morning before the golfers get there or after they have all gone home. What are you shooting with? Airgun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,397 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 You need to speak to the head groundsman or the green convener , there might be golfer on there from 6am till last light now summers coming in ,and thats no looking at folk walk ,going to there work and dog walkers . i used to do my courses at 4/5 am Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe87 1 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. We are going to meet up with the head groundskeeper and see what the problem areas are. We don't mind going at anytime night or day but like you say have to keep in mind dog walker etc. I have a Daystate mk3 and my friend an Airarms S410 we also have a Nitesite NS50 for night shooting.

lamping_lad 8 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Another thing to watch out for on a golf course is young people drinking, it's where qe used to spend most Friday nights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe87 1 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Haha yeah i didn't think of that. If we do see anyone drinking on it while we are out we will probably ask them to move on for their own safety and keeps us in the groundskeepers good books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck on my permission they built a wee hut stole the benches and used it as a drinking den, sex party place there was that many of them it was easier to give it a wide berth , the course got the police involved but they saw them coming and scattered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
