2 land owners signed up for FAC use today! :)

[NitroJoe]

My shooting buddy and I spent our morning off, visiting a couple of our land owners today. Thought we'd offer any help we could with holding back the flood waters down our way (not a lot to do it would seem) and gently broach the subject of getting their land cleared for FAC use. We've been shooting for them with air rifles for a few months now with good success but it's getting harder to get in range of the `survivors` and the .22 is feeling unloved, sat in the cabinet.

Both were more than happy to sign the forms and have the FEO come around, ecstatic almost, despite the water logged grounds! Pays to keep your land owners happy I guess, maybe the bottle of Black Grouse at Christmas helped a bit..

Anyway, now I have a decent justification to fill the 17HMR slot on my ticket: 110 acres of rolling golf course and 300 acres of arable, both well stocked with Rabbit and Fox!



Flood waters for reference...

Good for you Joe - looks like you might get your feet wet for a few weeks though.

Thanks Dave, I expect it will be a draught before the FEO gets around to making the visits

looks like you need to invest in an inflatable for lamping mate

Well done that's how it all starts

Can you get trout as a condition of your license?

Surely just hold a net outside the window of the vehicle no rifle required
