rapidjenky 97 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 try it all mate, visit as manny as you can, write letters just do what you can. be polite, print out some cards. ive been to places before and had to leave my details, it alot easier to have them on a card ready then have ppl looking around for pens and paper.

CraigGreg89 1 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 yea that was my thinking. I have printed some business cards so that might help me Quote Link to post
Qbgrey 3,990 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 yea that was my thinking. I have printed some business cards so that might help me yes thats a good start,maybe insurance about 30 pound a year,and offer farmer help on farm,shows your not wanting something for nothing as farmers are plagued by people wanting favours.

Qbgrey 3,990 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 insurance? yes mate,if any thing happens to farmers land,stock etc your covered just shows your serious Quote Link to post
web22 27 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 i find goin to the land owner and just bein polite usually does the trick,make it clear what you want permission to do there to avoid confusion later and let them know each time you arrive/leave if you can. good luck gettin some hunting ground.

CraigGreg89 1 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 yea i am not using dogs or guns just the ferrets so hopefully that will stand me in good stead Where abouts is this insurance and what type? Quote Link to post
caterpiller 10 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yes.....get yourself some cards printed up offering a FREE service and visit as many Farms/Estates as you can. Join the Countryside Alliance/Basc or another organisation and that will cover your insurance part of it. Visit the Farms/Estates in Smart but Casual clothes..........DONT go cammo'd up looking like some form of human tree just be brief and polite in explaining your intentions. A lot will just tell you to Feck off BUT........DONT give up.........just keep at it and someone will give you a chance Once you get some permission DONT take every Man and his Dog along........just you and your regular Ferreting partner. ALWAYS check (Ring) with the Landowner to see if its ok for you to Ferret that day etc......NEVER take it for granted. Remember.....your on there ON TRUST so keep your nose clean and hopefully......it will lead to more permission in the future. GOOD LUCK Quote Link to post
