i was also out for a mooch today,had been told about a few warrens about 10 miles away from me that nobody was ferreting,took a drive down this morning and seen about 12 or so rabbits in field and around 30 burrows along 2 hedge rows.on the way back home i went into farmers house and politely asked if he minded me going onto his land to catch a few rabbits and that there would be no dogs running around mad or no guns being used and if there was any digging to be done that all earth would be back filled and left as seen.well he couldnt have been happier,said he would have no problem as the rabbits were getting to be a bit of a pest now and would i mind doing a bit of ferreting on another bit of his land about another mile along the road,obviously i said yes no problem,cant wait going out tomorrow morn,iam only after getting 2 ferrets 1 week ago and this is my first permission.cant beleive my luck

Yes matey - get a map / google earth - have a look at the lay out of all the farms etc locally and just go one to another. I been working out from my house for ages now and once you get a few the neighbours are easier - so far i've got permission for all the land around me as far as i could walk in a day or so!

Aye go back in a nice set of clothes with out the dogs and as its the time of year rabbits are doing damage and the farmers arent to busy to spend time talking to you ,you might get some permission . Good luck

As Ideation said mate you get most of your permissions through word and mouth by doing the neighbouring land etc

We are lucky in the sense we have secured hundreds and hundreds of acres of land over the years by this method

you just need your first bit to get started dont be put off by knocking on doors they can only say no

dont go all done up in cammo gear or the other extreme like a chav just a wax or shooting jacket etc 1st impressions make all the difference

dont be put off by only little bits of land or even big country gardens because if you do a good job word gets around and you will be amazed how by useing these small bits of land as refrences how your permissions will spread

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK and hope you secure yourself some land soon WHERE ABOUTS ARE YOU FROM

Everyday when i drive home i pass through some Z bends near me that pass through a pretty decent sized bit of woodland which is attached to a few fields. The wood is many times larger than the fields and stuffed with rabbits. I have permission to ferret the land that runs along two sides of the woodland. The wood and fields seem to belong to the people who live in a big house which has an electronic gate and long drive (the house is huge). I've always fancied a go through the woods but have been put off from asking by the look of the house.

 

Anyway - i was driving home from work and had a pretty good day, as i drove past the house i noticed the electronic gate was open -so while luck was up (and i was in my 'smart' clothes) i decided to call into the house. I pulled up outside and knocked on the big door. From round the cornor came a well dressed, posh sounding bloke with a happy looking springer spaniel.

 

I introduced myself, said that i kept ferrets and worked land locally - naming some of the farms etc and told him i was there to ask for permission to ferret on his property. I said that i would be more than happy to drop some of the rabbits by when i had been. I was generally chatty, asked about his dog and complimented the view etc.

 

'I've not shot any for years the woods over run - you'd be more than welcome whenever you like'
