    Any "unusual" permissions?

    I was talking to VERYBIGMIKE this afternoon about permissions when he mentioned he recently gained a new one - shooting Rabbits ....... at a Brewery (Only he could do that )

    Usually everyone (myself included) started by approaching anyone who had an address with "... Farm" in the title.

    It got me to thinking - does anyone else have a permission that initially you wouldn't expect to have a vermin problem?

    I did some rabbit control a while back at some nursing homes I shot them at one and used ferrets at another it got sold off and the new owners weren't bothered about the rabbits destroying the gardens I wasn't that fussed as it was over 200 mile round trip for me

    I was asked last year if I would clear some rabbits at a cemetery as they were digging holes in some of the new graves but due to visitors in the day I would have to shoot at night with my night vision, but had to decline the offer as I was already too busy

    About 35 years ago - removing feral pigeon from a pub, they had a habit of dumping on the punters...

    I used to do a large one a few years ago. Quite challenging.
