simonrocco 175 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 just get out and ask farmers dress smart and be polite even when they say no to you you will get loads of farmers saying no to you but just keep at it you'll get some permission soon i was out a couple of months ago asking i spent all day asking i must have been to 20+ farms and i only ended up getting one farm that said yes. always tell them when your asking for permission that you will respect there land and livestock. i would have put you a copy of one of my permission letters up but i cant upload it on to my smart tv to put it on here for you. try doing a sesrch on here for permission letters i think theres some posts with some on somewhere on here atb with getting some permission Quote Link to post Share on other sites
navman 126 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I needed some permission of my own so eventually got out and gave it a try, picked a suitable area and went for it! Drove into first yard spoke to the farmer on a machine, told who I was and what I was after, bingo got it with no hassle first time, couldn't believe my luck! Down the lane stopped another farmer in his pickup, but he thought about it said he already had a couple of lads, thanked him anyway and drove to another farm, knocked same conversation and walked away happy, two out of three, so easy but I had put it off for ages. I had always fancied getting permission on a big farm near home so with my run of luck I went there after work one afternoon( in my work clothes)and was accepted once again. I was just polite and asked for permission to go on their land with a brief introduction of myself and found that approach worked, it wasn't hard at all just took a little bit of courage? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Be properly dressed, polite and courteous. One other thing I'd mention (because I hate it) is don't call a stranger "mate" - if you can find out the farmer's name beforehand, so much the better ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3 and counting 22 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Got meself another permission yesterday while out walking the dog. Mrs got talking to a lady with a couple of pure beddies, one thing lead to another and were soon chatting as good friends, then she mentions that she has a few horses. Quick thinking I ask if she had problem with rabbits, "hundreds" she replies. Well, turns out she has 13 acres of paddocks on the outskirts of the local town and a couple of small paddocks a few miles away. Happy days once I start out there.

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Perhaps we should mention what happens after you've got permission. Always respect any restrictions or conditions the land owner puts on you, but I think it's most important to do a good job - turn up when you 're supposed to, remove carcasses, and so on - in short, show him some proof that it's been worthwhile having you there. Remember you are basically asking for permission to walk around someone's back garden with a loaded gun ! Good luck !! Edited April 29, 2013 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
