langouroux 14 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 hi langoroux this might sound like a daft question but how is keeping it the difficult thing what do you mean if you agree to control the rabbit / fox etc....you need to commit to doing the job properly or the next person will offer and you could end up losing the permission to someone else. it hasnt happened to me personally as i know all the farmers that i shoot for very well, but it has happened to people i know.

I take a folder with these items: fire arms cert shot gun cert copies of other permisions a few testomonials NVQ folder / course work in game and wildlife management ( i havent passed yet.....fingers crossed!) small and large game meat hygiene cert my trusty Labrador who everyone falls in love with! that said i don't have thousands of acres i shoot over but i have more than enough to keep me busy and be able to do a decent job.
