Hello,

Today I bought the latest edition of Air Gunner (10/2005) and saw an article about an estate of 120 acres in the South of england aimed at "airgun tourism".
You can rent a cottage (£215 to £280 a week) and you can shoot on the estate. You can hunt (pest control: rabbits, rats and such) or you can just plink.

I wonder if other such places do exist in other countries.

In "civilised" (read: decadent, when rats have a higer status than people) Belgium and Holland it is not allowed to shoot such animals with airguns and plinking in the backyard is asking for trouble.
So: "airgun tourism" is the way to go I suppose.

They will be happy to allow you to do "pest control" for free.

We have a ranch here in Guanajuato, where we shoot Pigeons, Grackles and Cowbirds. And of the furry type: Squirrels, Rabbits and Hares.

We have another ranch in Veracruz where we hunt Iguanas, O'Possum and Coatí.

Just approach farmers, with an open mind and a real attitude to be of service. You will be astonished at the results.



Un Abrazo!

anyone know then, is it allowed to poison rats & squirrels in the netherlands & belgium? Why the ban on shooting them with airguns? I imagine the answer is going to be a strange one, and hope someone knows something about this.
