Do you feel stereotyped by the media?

I am lucky i agree being born into a family who has access to land and whatnot, but still i have never found gaining permission difficult.

Being who i am i have never found myself in the position to give out permission but rather only policing it (which can be scary when you 15 and ask a bloke to stop running his dogs and driving round the feilds), that said i know farmer/landowners who would prefer people to run their dogs on their land than to shoot it, but wouldnt think about giving to someone they know already has poached it.

well good luck to you i dont condone poaching it's just as a young lad it was the only way private estates looked on working class people as scum and never gave perrmision and any one caught was delt with thing's have changed in the last thirty or so years and like you said you woud'nt give permision to any one who had been caught poaching so my advice is get permision its best allround for everybody ATVB

Tottally sympathise with lads who poach if they do it on foot,field driving in 4x4 s is another ball game,ive had loads of permission for some things when i was doing landowners and keepers a favour,but try and get permission to run a lurcher,not easy.

we got a couple of fields permission a while back but got permission form signed today, will have ferreting and dogs but no guns, the bloke wasnt in so my bro asked the lady to sign but she didnt know why he said no guns

I know a lady who has a really quite big house and her garden (about 3 acres all maintained with flowers) is inendated with rabbits, so she doesnt want guns as it still close the the house and ferrets are out of the question just on the off chance they lay up, so dogs would be the answer except i dont have a running dog (thinking of a whippet tho) so i have to longnet it which is tricky as its so small and her she has pebble paths around the garden.
