It’s really nice to be wanted, isn’t it? Well, perhaps not if you’re a criminal on the run I’d imagine, but speaking as an airgun shooter, being someone who’s in demand from one of your permission owners is very gratifying.
One of my smaller permissions is also one of my best. In fact, if Doctor Who had a permission it would be Poplar Farm in south Buckinghamshire. You see, it’s a TARDIS of a thing, tiny as farms go - more of a small holding - but thanks to a diverse collection of livestock, it attracts more than its fair share of rats, rabbits and feral pigeons.
Usually, the farmer calls me up because he’s seen an increase in a particular pest.
