ecostorm 2 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Just wondering if anyone has found the best approach to asking land owners for permission? Not sure if sending letters or approaching in person is best. Whats your experiences and whats worked best for you? I've tried both of the above but i dont seem to have had much luck if any, so wondered where i'm going wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coursing mad 5 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 have you no permission at all mate, if you do ask the farmers near by and tell them you have got the land up the road... think you stand more chance trying that first good luck. tom.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, havent got any of my own permission but i do go with a few friends who do. As i'm getting into it more im looking to get my own permission but seems people arent interested. Will give your suggestion a go though, never thought of that! Might try it further away from home just in case i get rumbled!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I usually make sure i'm dressed half smart and go up to the farm/house and just knock the door and ask. I'm polite and articulate and generally friendly. I usually mention the other permissions i have in the area. Also i find its best to start by asking to ferret and then asking if you bring the dogs during the day and work up to lamping and shooting. I also usually go out of my way to lend a hand with and jobs that need doing and make sure i drop of rabbits, trout and birds when they want one. I also never suggest i'm doing them a favour. So far i have 1000's of acres and no one has ever said no. Jai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukeyyy01 0 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 i think the best way to get it is to ask the farmer in person but offer to help thm with rats around the barn if he says no keep goin back get him to no tht he can trust you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
