I would always start with ferreting, never mention anything else especially lamping. Do a season or twos worth of ferreting trouble free and see if you can sneak a few more liberties in now they hopefully trust you (and your dog). Worst thing you can do is go straight for lamping with a lurcher might as well not bother.

I would be knocking any large poultry units, shoots and sheep/cattle farmers offering your services... Drop in the free mole control and that you do everything within the law(legal means of dispatching the quarry) and you should land on something most farmers love something that's free.... Tight bar stewards see good luck mate

The problem with this is its now dead mans shoes! Pretty much everywhere has someone who does it there already i would think. And a hell of a lot of farmers have a son who likes shooting etc.

Re arms up a cows arse - always thought that was strange - they are preg scanning them. Very odd.

Be careful because an awful lot of permission you will be offered,after trapping their moles,will not be worth having,feck all on the land to make it worth while.Getting your foot in the door in certain locations will give you a farmers name to bandy about on more productive hunting land.Farmers are suspicious and non trusting of hunters,especially in Yorkshire,when they know you have permission on a mates farm they are far more accomodating to a stranger,i had permission on some of the most worthless land,because of that I faired far better later on.

Very true is that I’ve been on my mates farm forever and every now and then someone will ring his old man asking for something sorting out and gives them my number ended up with tons of permission near home just from that if you can be trusted they let you do what you want but I do have to do a few hours graft here and there one even let me build a drain no issues at all

One of the problems I’m seeing is the shift in land ownership. Less and less farms are owned by what you’d think of as a traditional ‘farmer’ with rural values and ideas. Now lots are owned by investors and Buisness folk, townies and large corporations. 

That’s the problem I’m having. Most don’t know what a ferret or a Lurcher is. If they ain’t making money from it they ain’t interested

Exactly brother well said that’s exactly how it is 

[poxon 5,555]

Here’s a thought I’ve had for a while how much permission would actually be needed to keep a half decent dog going throughout a season an so on my thoughts are if the dog is catching regular on one farm that has a nock on effect for the following season a good number of land is needed to keep a proficient dog in work the further down the country you come from up north so freelancing is a must if you wanna work a dog an have it catching regular I don’t believe for one minute that one bit of permission is enough land to not have to poach freelance is mandatory as you come down the country 

[C.green 3,203]

Permission is over rated.

Depends how big and how much game and what the surrounding ground is like etc. But totally agree you’d struggle if you didn’t hVe a pole about

100%! Handy to hVe a bit of perm to explain away what you do and sometimes it’s nice to be able to drive about / wander about not worrying a f**k what’s what. But it would soon get boring and stale. And the best bits are always the other side the fence anyway
