Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

**Trent Lane Syndicate is a small, friendly,none profitable mid week Driven farm shoot, established in 2007, and has moved forward year on year.We shoot Pheasant and partridge,with French partridge being our main interest, although there is 50/50  Pheasant and Partridge, release program. There is a High Level Stewardship in place on the farm to encourage English(Greys) Partridge, in which we are succeeding.There is a very good wild Duck (Mallard/Widgeon/Teal) and Goose (Greylags/Canada) shooting on three flight ponds, a private Lake and 2.5 mile of River bank (Trent/Fleet).The main shoot is set in the Trent valley (Newark On Trent) area, we shoot over a large number of Various varieties of Cover crops to encourage and keep both Pheasant and Partridge, over twenty acres of Cover is drilled each year, we are experimenting on biannual crops to cut down on ever increasing costs (Canary Grass, Chicory, Sweet Clover, Kale etc.) Not only does it cut down on cost, it also provides good brood rearing habitat, as the cover stands all year round, and provides food, in the form of insects and seed etc. The Shoot Covers over 2500 acres in total, we can expect the bag to be around the one hundred mark, but this is not are aim, our aim is to have a pleasant day with like minded people.We start the day by having Breakfast at our Local traditional Pub, here we draw our pegs, (Ten standing Guns) and move to our first drive for around 10.00 am, 7/8 drives in a days Shooting. There will be ten days Shooting in a season.**
