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.
If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

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. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

Put your request on PigeonWatch, if you haven't already, and you'll have a queue a mile long. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ 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? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |
