scalesntails 118 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Dress tidily but appropriately and go knock doors. When you get some permission remember to keep the owner happy. Offering to help out here and there and a bottle of scotch at Xmas usually does the trick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bob.243 8,979 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 You can get business cards printed from the address below at a good price, they make excellent cards, makes you look more professional like, hand it to the farmer when you meet him, saves him writing your Tel. No. down if he shows any interest, if he's out just pop it through his letter box. http://shootingcards.co.uk/index.html Best of luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,489 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi mate thats the best way knock on doors .if you phone or send letters its often a no thanks because would you give somebody permission to walk about your land if you hadn't seen him before ?.
