Luke Evo-4 8 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thankyou buddy I would have never have thought of that good piece of advice thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,531 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Plenty of footpaths, bridleways down your way, walk them, see where the gear is and ask the farmers, be plenty grateful for responsible pigeon/corviid control. Get insurance through basc etc but cheaper and better off with SACS off here (do a search) Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Add a information about your self and what your looking for eg general pest control etc. Add your number and an email. If there not in drop one through the door. I got a few replies doing it that way... unfortunately to says thanks for the offer but they already had someone. Took me a year before I got my bit of land, perseverance pays off and don’t get disheartened with knock backs. Good luck and keep at it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People will be blunt with you . Some will be bellends . Just the way internet is. But if your genuinely looking for help/ tips/ info on hunting this place can be a goldmine. Personally I've learn so much from reading this site it's been great . Most of the stuff on here is not something I do but reading about the mole catchers / falconry / fishermen on here it's great learning about it . But on here the dog running guys have really opened my eyes to hunting with dogs . Not something I've done or plan on doing but the enthusiasm some have is infectious to read . If you want to throw yourself into whatever sport your interested hunting wise theirs no better place . 100% agree with you on that WR iv got a hell of a lot more respect for the lads now after being out with MHOPTON and his dog Blade . and that from a air gunner lol atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Get some vermin control cards made up they tend to keep the cards and throw the rest ,,letters and so on Get your self stuck into the forum let the lads get to know you and most important TRUST you and offer,s will come along of a night... days out will come . All way do as they ask and respect there views and wishes because if you dont they will post it on here and NO one will offer you out again . There are a hell of a lot of good lads on hear that will help you out but asking for land is a big no no its harden nuff as is to get land as you will no doubt find out . we tend to protect our land and then some . good luck with your search atvbjimmy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
