Hello guys,
I am new to this forum, I am not a small woodland owner, I am however hoping you can help?
I am a responsible 39 year old air gun owner that is looking for a place to shoot, after loads n loads of visits to local farms and woodlands I'm beginning to become a bit pessimistic at my chances, generally the answer is no, thankfully they are pleasant no's. Only this morning I came across someone tramping around a local wood with a rifle without permission, it's frustrating when you are trying to do it the right way when others bypass the law and just do what they want. Sorry rant over...
Just to give you a quick overview of what we are doing, two of us are approaching landowners together, we are fully insured up to 2 million pounds each, we use quality PCP ultra quiet rifles (around a grand to buy and very accurate in competent hands) written contracts would be signed to cover both parties in the event of any incident.
Permissions can be withdrawn at any time by the landowner/tenant. Together we have over twenty years experience and are currently removing pests (pigeons) for an industrial site owner. We are also able to remove rabbits, wood pigeons, corvids etc under the general licensing conditions.
Hopefully some of you may be willing to share with me what concerns you would have if faced with the same request, any help you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, if my post has upset any members please accept my apologies, my intention is not to offend but to promote safe hunting and humane pest control methods.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Iain.
