Keep trying you never know you might drop lucky 1 day, and when you do ask try to look bit smart while your there you may aswell bend over and :huh:aswell, when he knocks on the door all smart will the farmer opening it look smart aswell why people think you need to impress is beyond me there no better ,or though half the people on here are conditioned to think they are 1 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well he seems to have some issues. I think dressing appropriately, being polite etc is a small price to pay for getting some hunting land. Quote Link to post

It's not that they think they're better than you, it's that you need to make them think you're better than the chavs that wreck their land. FFS!!!! 1 Quote Link to post

mC HULL 13,356 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 no chip on my shoulder mate, wreck there land what is there to wreck they dont think nowt of driving across them same field to tell you to do one and how many lads smash through gate fences a small minority or the ones with plenty of cash in there pocket to repair there motor everytime they went out its most of it is farmers lying to make out were all scum and the worst of it is even hunting lads believe it Quote Link to post

He can also drive where ever he likes on his own land, it's his f'cking land!!! there's a world of difference between him driving a 4 x 4 across his field to tell poachers to leave and some knobs driving a subaru around a field chasing a fox! what is there to wreck??? are you serious?? CROPS for starters! fences and gates, livestock. He ain't churning up his own crops when he's driving on his land, I can assure you of that! No offence pal, but you sound like you've got a major attitude problem, and it probably comes across in your body language when you're talking to farmers yourself! You sound like one of those that thinks the world owes him a favour in all honesty! Quote Link to post
