Ron Weasley 83 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The thing is though pal, this is a site used by us- the airgun hunters, not the farmers and landowners. You've been given some top advise in this topic, so take heed of all of these things and have a little bit of patience and everything will work out Quote Link to post

Wanna be farmer 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yaaaa, i now have permission to ferret on someone's land but still looking around for shooting. Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 good lad...............be honest and respectful. offer the farmer some or all of your catch, and you will gain his trust and then he will probably let you shoot aswell. if you havn't already get some insurance, and it will all work out for you................give it time. all the best sean Quote Link to post

RaiderBoy 19 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 1 insurance like sacs or basc ect that way land owners no your covered 2 send some letters to a few farms ect , 3 knock on some doors , dress smart no camo . it does work .......... never give up I realy do feel like giving up as i hav tried asking a feww farmers and they say sorry i already have pest controll. I think you need to make it clear to the farmers/landowners that you're asking their permission to shoot, not offering pest control. Although in effect, you will be helping to control pests, it's not quite the same things as a full pest control service. Okay, i'll try, but realy tbh. Who want's a 14 year old to shoot on their land? same problem here dont think anybody will want people on their land until they look 35 Quote Link to post
Wanna be farmer 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 The farmer spoke to me since tehn and said after i have earnt his trust i can shoot with my airgun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAA. But it will take around a year though Quote Link to post
wuzzy 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 keep your chin up its something to look forward to and you will find once you have one permission others seem to pop up very quickley Quote Link to post
Fidgety 8 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 How about offering farmers a hand with chores - they all need an extra pair of hands, and it's a great way for them to get to know you. Just a thought ......... from a farmer....... Quote Link to post
