Gaining permission

[Ryan1uk 1]

Hi,

 

This weekend I am hoping to go around a few farms and ask permission to go lamping. I have never done this before so was wondering if there is anything I need to say, bring, do, dress, etiquette etc. No micky taking please Any tips would be fantastic.

 

Thankyou for your time

dress nice, dont take a dog,kids od wife. go alone, be polite at start at the bottom with ferreting with a dog to stop/hold rabbits in a net or to catch those that slip the net.

I dont even Mention dogs, if permission is granted I just rock up with dog.

 

When farmers see it under controil doing its job they have no worries..

 

Just keep trying fella, you will get loads of knock backs but dont loose heart, you will get something if your keen enough.

id be saying good bye if i gave someone permition without mention of a dog to start with BUT to turn up with a biddable well trained dog does sweeten the eye..

My advice...don't bother ! Just go lamp it anyway

often its better to ask for ferreting permission before lamping, and after a while once youve proved you're trust worthy, go round with a bottle of whiskey and drop the question lol

just be straight with him and ask mate you will probably

get more saying no than yes but soon as you do get one or

two having their names can lead to more

Thankyou very much Earth, Giro, Jezza and Richie198 for your replies, very much appreciated Asked 6 farmers on the weekend, 4 said no and the other 2 have someone already. Mind you one of the farmers said he will ask around for me which was a bonus. Got to see him in a couple of weeks.

 

Thankyou

I get to work on farmers land most days of the week. Every time i see a farmer i ask for permission. Been doing it for the last 4 years, iv'e only got 3 small bits of permo. It's not easy. Going straight in with the Lamping question would be a none starter IMO. Like others have said, maybe Ferreting first.

 

 

 

Best of luck

if you make friends with the farmer it's so much easier. try to find common ground between you two and start a good conversation, relate to them. I've had a guy say I couldn't go on his place with the dogs, I told him how they do it and everything about them. He came over one day (supplied our farm with feed) and he said he's going shooting on the weekend and invited me to come with the dogs, he saw how they had no interest in sheep and cleaned up the vermin well. He said I could go spotlighting there whenever I wanted from then on just to ring him. Got to the point where I was the only person allowed to go there and he told me I didn't even have to call him up when I wanna go there just not to go in the paddocks if it's wet, one night I cleaned up 5 foxes and some other things, then the next day when i got home there was 3 bags of dog food that he had put on the back of the ute for me! It's a great big property with a lot of stuff on it. So just goes to show all ya have to do is gain the farmers trust and make friends with them and they'll be more than happy for you if you hunt on there.

i struggled for permission with the dog and asked a few when she was younger and got turned away but the same people were happy for me to go ferret there.

also my job is in a petrol station at the moment which is temporary and shit work but its only a mile away from my house and a very good contact centre for farmers
