Fingers Crossed

[stevieskin 4]

After what seems like an eternity spent driving, knocking, telephoning I have a chance at getting my first permission

 

A farmer told me his neighbour had a rabbit problem so I got in touch straight away. Spoke to the farmers wife and she took my details and said he would call me back.

Anyway outcome is I have to meet at the farm on Friday afternoon to discuss things.

Finally life looks a little more promising.

TIP for the meeting:

 

Dress Smart casual, not combat ready.

 

Take your insurance details and make a point of showing them to him.

 

Ask him questions, walk around with him.

 

Be polite and professional call him Sir until he says 'use my first name'.

 

Leave the permission form until after he says you can shoot; then say to him that "to make my insurance valid on your land will you please sign this permission document; its just a formality."

 

 

And best of luck.

.....and dont swallow

Thanks for all the good wishes and tips guys.

 

Quite lucky to even get the chance of the shoot if truth be known.

Farmer is a tennant on property belonging to a very large estate covering 15000 acres. Very few shooters allowed outside their syndicate guys.

Farmer had to ring estate office to get permission to even consider anyone for pest control. As luck would have it I spoke to the estate head gamekeeper at length last week. He took my details for future reference if anything came up.So when the farmer rang to see if he could use my services the estate office knew of me already and said I would be acceptable if the farmer himself was happy when he met me.

So all the leg work and lead chasing has at least paid off somewhat.
