Permission On Tenant Farmers Land

[DanAdams 10]

Hi all, just wondering if i want to get permission on a tenant farmers land do I need their permission or the actual owners permission? I live in the middle of a driven pheasant and partridge shoot that's a keepered estate made up of about 5 farms. Who do I ask? I know of people who have asked the land owner about shooting but with no luck which is understandable as they could easily bag a couple of pheasants which he could be getting payed for. Does any one reckon I've got a chance with ferreting permission?

Ask everyone and ask for it in writing .. You will soon find out who you actually have to ask

Farmers are entitled to give you permission to control ground game.

approach both the tennant farmers and the head keeper. this way you shouldnt run into a problem with one or the other, some shoots are also responsible for pest control and the sporting rights, dependent on whats stated on there lease.

Farmers are entitled to give you sweet fcuk all if they dont want to,its there land and there choice.I hear and see this sort of crap on here all the time same with lads running lurchers and dogs geting shot.Lf a dog is running lose in a field with no immediate owner present and livestock in the same field then a farmer has every right to shoot the dog even if its not worrying his livestock.If people showed a bit more respect towards farmers and there livestock then they might not be as quick to say no when your looking for permission.Before anyone jumps ship,i hunt,shoot and keep a lurcher but i try and do things as right as possible.

Cheers I'll talk the keeper, I see him about a fair bit feeding the birds on his quad. I'll get out and have a chat the farmers aswell.

i was in the same situation years ago, Farmer asked if i would ferret hedgerows telling me he had told the Keeper.

The day i went, nearly all the burys had rabbit guts down them, heard that the keeper and two underkeepers had been out with the rifles and lamp. and obviously didn't want me there.

I packed up, and never went back.

Someone got up on the wrong side of bed this morning, I said entitled not obliged. They don't have to give any f****r permission but by entitled I mean that they can do even if there is some jumped up dickhead of a gamekeeper who thinks he owns the land. A tenant farmer can let people on his land to protect his crops, they can only control ground game and the farmer can't charge them for the privilege.
