Started To Look For A Permission

[Matt Smith 143]

Thanks to Mac, I know have the bug!

 

At the start of the week I sent some emails out to local golf clubs but as expected, everyone of them had someone doing the job already.

 

Yesterday I went on Google maps and bookmarked 20 local farms, printed out my letters and went round 9 this morning. I managed to speak to 4 who all said no but the other 5 got a letter through the door.

 

I'll do the rest next weekend, unless I get a response from this batch.

 

Hopefully by doing some leg work my efforts will pay off.

 

I only want 1, that would be enough to keep me busy with the ability to return the gesture to Mac, Vizla and Daz. What goes around comes around and one good turn deserves another.

 

Fingers crossed.

I find letters give a very poor response, dress smartly,(dont go in cammo) and do some door knocking, you will get lots of knock backs, but keep at it and you WILL get some, also you might be best not mentioning airguns when you ask, just ask for shooting permission, a lot of farmers veiw airguns as toys (they are not of course) and dont take people seriously with them, take whatever you can get mate, as very often, it can lead to a foot in the door with adjoining land, best of luck mate and most of all stick at it

Youre dead on about people not taking air rifles seriously. I was close to gaining permission on a local orchard but the second the bloke realised I was talking air rifles instead of firearms he changed his mind.

as said above always try to talk to farmer face to face when asking for permission to shoot ther land and if not ther call back later when ther in farmers like to see and talk to people ther mite be letting shoot ther land good luck

You thought about a advert in a farming paper expensive but worth it

good advice timmy

 

I got knocked back at a local farm last year but im going to go back down sometime this week and ask again, hopefully he will let me shoot the pigeons in his sheds, I just hope having the cattle in there wont put him off the idea. if not the pigeons he might let me at the rabbits

 

if he wants to have a chat about it first I have plenty of photos of my guns with various dead vermin next to them hehe
