William Atherton 1 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hey Guys. I am 14 years old and live in leyland, lancashire. I am lucky with where I live because i am 5 minutes from thearoun 5-6 farms. The only problem is that when I go to ask permission the farmers and landowners always say no or try the farm next door. I am always poliet and dress as smart as possible.I think that its because of my age that they won't let me on but I am unsure. Many thanks, Will. Quote Link to post

Joe67 239 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.. dont give up mate we all get refused,am new to ferreting and i found a difference when telling some farmers etc i had insurance,might be worth getting. ask them if they need any free pest control as you ferret as a hobby in spare time,tell them you will follow any rules they might have and respect the land and animals at all times.if you get insurance offer a copy to show your serious and responsible,also offer a contact number and address(i found those two helped getting permission at an old sawmill,the old guy had alot of trouble with people stealing for scrap etc) hope thats of some help,stick in.hard work will pay off good luck Quote Link to post
Ferret mad Dave 65 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I find if you say FREE rabbit control It always helps mate if you can get your sen some insurance too alway drop your name and address in too around my they there is a problem with poachers who will just walk onto land even into the yards and if court they will do any thing one told a farmer he would put a light too one of his straw stacks if he didn't f**k off get a permission letter drawn up this show you have nowt too hide put your address in the letter I think a lot think all your doing is casing the farm gain there trust keep at them mate they will Come round too your I'm sure of it Quote Link to post
