I've had a gander at Grims letter, looks pretty good, it has given me some good pointers to pen my own letter

No problem there mate . It just help confirm I am on the right track

Thanks a lot Davy, I had thought of land other than farm land but you have added a whole new bunch of ideas, fantastic mate and I sure your advice will help , I have already penned a letter of permission and I will look at grim reapers letter and compare it to mine, I am sure being new to seeking permission there will be some good stuff in what he has written . I may edit his for my use or do a combination of his and mine , cheers mate

That all sounds pukker to me, I great sounding approuch , I am taking it all on board and appreciate the advice I am getting from you chaps

I would be interested to hear your technique when knocking on doors it seems a delicate subject to approach when asking a stranger if they would allow you to go on their land with an air rifle Well it may be a bit of putting at first but stick at it when you go try to turn up reasonably smart .be polite and if you get knocked back say thanks and leave your name and number in case things change in future. always tell people your looking for somewhere to shoot i have just sorted some permission on a large riding school by word of mouth.sort your self insurance before you start it helps

Cheers Darryl, make you right mate

Yevver sin dem darn woodies a-nestin in a rabbut ole? :crazy: Joking aside, never heard of it mate

Cheers for that Jasper, sounds like a good idea mate

Point taken

Yes I agree about the name, I have had nothing to do with hunting for some 35 years and this was the first forum I joined, I went for the user name just because it was the first thing that came to mind and I was eager to join having just got my new rifle and didn't give it enough thought . I don't know if I can/should change it or leave it in the hope that people will get to know that I am not a copper. What do you lads on this forum think?

No I'm not a real copper! I just picked that user name because my initials are PC and at school(many years ago) the kids called pc plod for a bit of fun. I'm afraid I have no advantage over you chaps!, shame that!, maybe I should join up just to get hunting permission

Thanks for the advice, even down to what to say, what more could I ask for mate Hope I don't get the "you little scroat" treatment :11:, mind you better than being shot at

Cheers for the response y444tes I would be interested in how lucky you are getting permission by cold knocking I would have thought that you get a lot of turn aways?

Well I'm not sure what to expect in the way of help, but here we go . I have come back to air guns after a 35 year break and things have changed back then I used to find the odd farmer who would let me hunt a few Rats, Woodies and Bunnies, where are they now I wonder . How the hell do you lads find somewhere to hunt these days, please, please help put me on the road to finding permission if you can, you know, the how, where who or what I need to find somewhere . If someone can give me an idea of how to go about finding permission to hunt, then please do so, my gun is collecting dust
