any land for shooting on in Cork

niteowl84

Hi everyone,

Im currently looking for anyone who may have land or know someone with land in Cork or even outside Cork that have no problem leaving someone shoot on it or who has a rabbit problem? I have a Anschutz .22 Lr for the last 4 years and I dont take un-nessersary unsafe shots I only shoot if its safe to do so and if there's a back stop.

So if anyone can help please pm me!!

Thanks

Best thing to do is go knockin on doors lad, most lads on ere have done that to get their permissions! once you get one permission they start to role in with neghbouring farmers/landowners ect. one permission i got during the summer has turned into 5 joined together that would take me all day to walk around!

I have permissions and my license already just looking for more places to go shoot rabbits!

jap gt

you wont find many shooters willing to tell you the best shooting spots, my advice is rake a drive around some evening in the area you like to shoot and knock on a few doors, very few say no

you still need permission from every farmer to shoot his land it doesnt have to be written just verbal
someone here cant tell you where theres rabbits and off ya go shooting them the farmer needs to be asked still

it would be very awkward meeting the farmer while shooting his land and telling him so and so from boards.ie said there was rabbits here so i said id come shoot them without asking him first
something tells me there would be a no shooting sign up fair quick

I can't see many farmers turning down free vermin control:)

Daithi55 obviously I would ask the farmer for permissin I wouldn't just go there if someone on boards.ie told me where there was rabbits! I was just asking if someone who had land or knew someone with land who wouldn't mind leaving someone shoot on it

I know a batchelor farmer with the same attitude.........always says: 'Walk up the aisle with a farm.......walk down with half a farm!!'
