scottish lurcher 185 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I recived some bad news early last week that the ground I have permission on is unavabile due to shooting syndicates require more land , and are in a postion to pay for the privilege . I also lost permission on other land at start of season due to farmer land being sold off for houses and road widening measures , so now find my self with out any permission but feel grateful that I have been able to work both permissions for the last 15 years . so this week been knocking on doors in the area and also in about 30mile radius .but no cigar , I can now see how new guys get feed up who can't get permission, and how working lurchers struggle to get land . Makes me wounder if I will be able to work new pup next season . So get out as much as poss lads this season ,as you never know u could be in same postion in the furture atb Quote Link to post

The one 8,585 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 We had the same when the farmers sold out to houses but I went with them and it was bigger farms they bought with the money 1 Quote Link to post
Treehands 1,417 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 What's stopping you from beating for the shoot?. My cockers worth her weight in gold for the permission they've brought in. All shoots need pest control, who better than one who knows the ground!!..... Just don't expect it to happen overnight!!!. 1 Quote Link to post
