Every which way you can. Follow up every lead, knock every door, ask any farmer you see, go beating on shoots. Be polite, smart, keep to your word and get the job done as you say you will, no ifs, no buts.

Your age is against you looking at your pict's but if you have done a good job on your one bit of permission knock on the farmer next door and say i do Mr Browns could i do both sides of the boundary ?. And would you be interested in me ferreting your ground ?.

I can understand how hard it is to get places,, but even at my age, I still get smartened up and knock on new doors,,

 

Persevere, be polite, and the permission will appear

 

Good luck bud

vest going you cam do is have axlook about make sure there's rabbits there first . Then knock or ask in yards about the rabbit problem and how you just do happen to keep ferrets and would they mind awfully if you were to get the numbers down with the ferrets ,

Permission is a funny thing. These days there are an awful lot of folk 'into' hunting, be it ferreting, shooting, lamping etc etc. It's getting harder in some areas to get new land, we do a lot of land here, but as it's land we have done for years the numbers are right down, in comparisson with what they were when they started. Folk always say if you do a good job new land will come, but it's not ALWAYS true, you do hit a point where all the land is being done or has been done. . . .

 

The worst thing we have round here now is folk, mostly from the cities/towns, paying farmers to shoot the rabbits, so even with the damage to grass (it's mostly stock here not arable), the amount of cash they get payed makes this acceptable to them, so no way are they going to 'hand it out free' when someone is willing to PAY THEM, to do the pest control, mad world really.

 

To be honest i think next season we may really struggle, unless we move to a whole new part of the country, which brings it's own problems, such as farmers not wanting to 'trust' someone 'not from round here'.

 

We do pick land up though from other folk who don't get the job done properly, but then a few decent days and the rabbits are gone.

 

We also have the issue that everyone and his brother has a lurcher now and lamps, so everywhere is poached to f**k, over summer as well, so numbers keep dwindling.

 

Best thing going is the keepered estates, that keep poachers off and only like one person/team doing it.

just get yourself out and and ask farmers dress smart be polite tell them that you will respect there land and there livestock even offer to help them out round the farm in exchange for some permission. i was out asking for permission a few month ago i must have went round about 20 farms and didnt get one bit it is hard to get it round my area as theres that many people at it either shooting ferreting or lamping and all the permission is taken or so the farmers say. although i did get a new bit the other day a farmer knocked on my door and asked me to get rid of the rabbits on his land needless to say i was shocked at him knocking on my doorand asking me but i said yes straight away so im off there on the weekend. good luck with your hunt for permission
