Don’t be silly lucky now a days if you can hunt with permission. But it pays to be flexible Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 42,890 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 You can hunt what you want, when you want....just got to weigh up the odds....and dont get caught But Seriously...Get a few cards made up and just keep putting in the leg work asking....can seem like your getting no where ,but you will land on something if you keep trying,always be polite in defeat 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,950 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 If it's just hunting with a catapult I honestly think you would be hard pushed to get any permission as I would think most landowners would just view the catapult as a kids toy or a tool used by someone poaching. I just walk around local woods and land with binoculars around my neck with the catty in my pocket and only take a shot at squirrels and winged vermin if theirs no one about. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,045 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Certainly worth knocking you may get nice surprise. Some land owners are absolutely brilliant. In short supply but they are out there. Politeness and respectability is the key and come across as harmless as possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fred90 3,100 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 just go where you want and check no ones about, the beauty of the catty is if it looks like going tits up you can always chuck it away, just claim you have lost your way, they can only fxxk you off. same with handline for trout, sling it in the river if you have to. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,268 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 The entire point of owning and shooting a catty is you don’t need permission, I,ve shot pigeons and shite hawks in the city centre for years squirrels in the local park an a shit load of ferals on my local train station, just walk public footpaths in the country there are thousands of miles of them heaving with everything you want, I,m 61 years old and have had a catty in my pocket for as long as I can remember, never once had my collar felt 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly why would any landowner take you seriously if you asked for permission with a catty ...they are just for pi$$ing about not serious pest control. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree and I do the same, I've had some good success driving and shooting out of passenger window. Especially near all the country estates when the pheasants have been released lol. Quick drive round lanes at first light . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
