shooting land

[Flitney 0]

HELP.... found out today the land i have been shooting on since i was a kid with my dad has been sold for a new housing project. any one got any pointers on to how aquire a new shoot...dont think i'd be off to a good start if i just walk up to the farm house and knock. idealy i'd find someone working there to ask, failing that i'm thinking of posting letters through doors but thats not ideal.... any advise would be good.

thanks

Bad crack that mate!

 

but I'd do exactly what you've just typed mate.....face to face is obviously better than sending a letter, but we all started the same way!

 

Good luck

Bad luck mate. One good way is to make friends with game keepers. I help a local one out in the mornings and know he knows I am trustworthy he lets me go shooting on the estate it the afternoons. Once people learn you can be trusted you will get more permission. Or you could put an add in the paper offering pest control services for people with a vermin problem. Good luck.
