SNAP SHOT 194 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 i go to the farmer and tell him i would like to hunt onhis land,that i am fully insured, and that i will rid him of a few foxes or deer whichever the case may be an one farmer even gave me a large bag of lamb roasts etc. for doing away with 6 foxes that killed all his ducks.......i'd say in the butcher's € 100 wouldn't even have touched the meat he gave me.......so a good result......polite and courtious, be willing to lend a hand if needs be it always helps.

trappa 517 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just ask them, the worst they can say is "no" so its no hardship really. If you get 9 no's but 1 yes its all been worthwhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Macnas Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Small but earnest gestures go a long way. I've always offered game to the people good enough to give me permission, helped one fellow re-roof a calf shed, helped 2 ( so far ) with planning applications, and have always put myself at their disposal when it comes to vermin control. On that note, the air rifle I got for my brother last year is worth it's weight in gold. Feral pigeons in farm buildings, stables and businesses are getting to be a big problem here, and my brother spends a couple of evenings every week potting these nuisance birds for people. As a result, we have a lot of new permissions, a real result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you get 9 no's but 1 yes its all been worthwhile. What if you get at least 50 no's and no yes's Is that about time to give up LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,453 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have 21 permissions and expect to have 1 or 2 more by the end of the year. Yes, I have had some luck, yes I have worked hard, but I have a very high attempt to success rate. Keep trying, offer the landowner something they need, be reliable and respectful, don't take the p***, and don't turn up on his doorstep with a gun and wearing cammo gear!!! I now have a team of shooters who work for me for free because they can't get a shoot but I can. Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,453 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you cant get permission don't worry just help your self That is the sort of response that is below contempt and will end up screwing every respectful and law abiding shooter in this country!!!
