A bottle to the farmer and a tin of sweets to there wifes where else could you get a years ferreting ,shooting for that

I think they appreceate the gesture more than the gift itself sometimes, as has allready been said, where else would you get value for money like that ?????. Apart from that, its good manners and courtesy on our part to show that gesture for permission. You'd have to do something pretty f****n stupid to be chucked off permission by a farmer that you have built up a good rapport with, more so if you are in his wifes good books lol. Its all about respect, manners and gratitude, very simple qualities to nurture and use, but all to rare nowadays.

me and a mate years ago used to give a bottle of whisky and a box of cartridges to the farmers that shot for crows etc, cost a small fortune but shows your gratitude.

 

A month after one christmas, one farm, owned by two brothers were in the news, they had fallen out, one shot the other, then shot himself....with a shotgun...never went back for a long time after that !!...moral of this story......give em chocolates or whisky, .they can only make themselves sick then.

After being in your company for a short while.........its no wonder the poor cnuts topped themselves :laugh:

Totally agree. Went to Morrisons yesterday (Teachers whisky £11) got the max 6 per customer and going again later to get the other 6 bottles neccessary plus I need 1 bottle of decent port and a bottle of JD (I know this farmer drinks it as I work with his daughter in law) so a total spend of about £150 gives me a years sport - Bargain of the century.

Some smaller/less productive places just get a Merry Christmas though

 

Cheers, D.

bottles of wine is all i can affortd but it is the thought what counts.........just to let them know your thinking of them

[bribri988 141]

Do any of you give anything to your permissions owner/s at christmas? Got talking about this at work today and it was mixed, with a few saying yes and a few saying no. I do personally, just a bottle of whisky/rum/brandy, just to show a bit of appreciation, as lets be honest, they don't have to let you on their land and i am greatful for them doing so, as it allows me to do what i love. Any of you do the same, as one lad couldn't get his head around it and thought i was daft?

nice bottle of irish wiskey

[blackstaff 488]

Always drop a bottle off, keeps you in the good books. Also I think it's more the thought that counts, but if someone gave me a bottle of scotch to walk on my land in the cold / wind / rain to kill vermin so I didn't have to I'd be well happy too !

 

Merry Christmas all

[max abell 196]

Always give a bottle of whisky to my permissions. you get people saying we are doing them a favour yes we are but there is always someone round the corner that will do that same favour for them and some that will even pay for it. so a bottle of booze and doing a good job for them is a cheap way of securing your permissions

[blackstaff 488]

Indeed Max

I do nearly the same the farmers with good land and plenty to hunt get bottle whiskey and rolls of wire when i get it.The ones with say only small holding and only enough hunting to make it worth visiting them once a season Get Happy Christmas and box roses if their lucky.

that's exactly what i did last week, i took a couple of bottles round to the farmers and one said ive got some more land that might be worth a look,

i had a feeling this land was his and i knew it held a few as we had lamped it a couple of times allready haha ta least now for the price of a bottle we can

go on all leagal and above board.

Yours sounded a lot (£150) but like you it's a bargain and well worth it for a seasons hunting
