Pigeon/pest control wanted
Im looking for some casual pigeon shooting/pest/fox control around the midlands, leic, warks, etc. Full FAC etc etc. Anyone need it or know anyone that does? Thanks,

Permissions are like hen's teeth down South. As it is I have to travel about 40 miles one way, couldn't get anywhere nearer.

I think it is the same everywhere, you only have to look on Pigeonwatch but to my mind there's no substitute for networking locally. Once you're 'in' and you have earned the trust of a landowner you'll often find other opportunities will open up. Find a reason to use your local agricultural supply places and once you have got to know them drop a hint that you might be prepared to help out with pest control. Taking on a bit of beating in the season will help with networking too.

Granted you might have done or know all this already but good luck. Steve.

Put your request on PigeonWatch, if you haven't already, and you'll have a queue a mile long.

If you want I can put something up for you.

Edit - Ooooops apologies I thought you were saying you had permission you wanted to offer......

There is indeed two ways of reading the OP's opening gambit. Think I read it the wrong way too?
