Dear Sir/ Madam

 

 

Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is XXXXXXXX, I am a XX years old air gun hunter living in the XXXXXX area. I am writing to you concerning any pest control problems you may have on your farm and farm buildings.

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, mink , and foxes.

I am fully licensed and a responsible shooter, and I would be willing to sign a total disclaimer for any injury that I occur whilst on the property.

I am a courteous, patient and intelligent person by nature, always willing to learn, and follow instructions to the letter. 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.

I will dispose of all pests off the property and any quality game such as rabbit or pigeon first offered the property owner.

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 call me on XXXX XXX XXXX (home) XXXXXXXXXXX (mobile) thank-you, I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Regards
