How do you do you find and pick any shot birds in that crop. Another thing is that because the crop is grown like that are you breaking the terms of the General license by shooting them at all. Ps... look at the terms of the General licence. They have to be doing serious damage to any crop and you have to have tried alternative methods. Are they? Have you? Quote Link to post

Haha, all right PC Meece we don’t shoot over the rape that would be pointless as you would struggle to find them, we shoot the edge of the wood also the other side of this wood is a field of spring barley that’s just been drilled so that should cover your general licence, but thanks for your concern 2 Quote Link to post
