LR Chris Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Guys A friend of a friend has a rabbit problem around their horse paddock/ land. Free rabbit shooting is offered for experienced/ safe hunters. Close to Junction 18 on M4, Bristol / Bath area, which is too far away for me to cover. I've not seen the land in question, so I can't answer any safety questions regarding shooting, etc... Please pm me & I'll pass your details on ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR Chris Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks for the pm's guys. I shall pass your details onto the Landowner tonight & they can contact you direct to discuss. Hopefully you can help them out & acquire regular shooting rights :-) I have asked them to give you written permission, etc :-) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Around horse paddocks people normally get funny about shooting, we use ferrets and nets much safer and no chance of spooking a horse. Chap not to far from me shot a fox one night in his paddock, women's horse next door ended up jumping it to there swimming pool fire man at to lift it out with crain. Just a thought Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap not to far from me shot a fox one night in his paddock, women's horse next door ended up jumping it to there swimming pool fire man at to lift it out with crain. Just a thought Gaz Gaz Yeah, but it sounds like they are infested with rabbits & scared of the horses getting lame from rabbit holes... Other people are shooting on the adjacent farmland next door with shotguns, not sure if this is for rabbit or other game... But so long as they have notice for their land, to see to the horses, they're ok. The horses are normally stable at night too. So evening/ night rabbit shooting with a .22 lr is no prob. NV a bonus :-) Daytime with a moderated .22 should't be a problem, as long as they know you're there ... They will insist on conditions because of the horses, buts thats got to be expected :-) Just wish I lived closer... All "pm" details handed over tonight. But they are on holiday this week, so you might not get a call for a few days :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, all 6 pm's passed on the the landowner. As I said, she's on holiday this week so hopefully she'll be in touch with some of you next week :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
