baw 4,360 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Get a ferret, get permission with that first. Most farmers don't like dogs especially strangers with dogs. Get permission ferreting, earn his trust then ask if you can bring the dog. 1 Quote Link to post

Get permission ferreting, earn his trust then ask if you can bring the dog. spot on, yeh ferret is the way to go, or ask if he got any rats need geting rid of.Dont say the word(lurcher) as most landowners or keepers dont want them on the ground.It was as bad now as it was 30 years ago.I used to go knocking doors all the while where i live, and never did any good, but say shooting rabbits or ferret( no dog) you might get the odd 1 from 15 say ok. So i gave up asking, and just went and out worked me dog, and in some ways when you asked and they all said no, i think they started to have a look out for yah lol, mayb better saying nout in the 1st place .? Get a ferret mate you may drop lucky Quote Link to post

milliken 793 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 1 dress well dont show up on there door dressed in tracksuit moleskins and nice shirt tie always looks good 2 speak clearly and politely 3 try find you the name of farmer before showing up at has door looks good when you say are you mr so and so 4 if you have other permission in that area it always help to name drop alittle 5 always leave a card with your name and home phone number on it and then mobile looks good when they see home number on it hope this helps you out abit mate once you get your foot in the door treat the place people and livestock with respect and you should be sorted robert 1 Quote Link to post
