J.D. 40 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 right lads, i no this is a long shot, but im trying to get my son of his playstation and ipad, and get him in to the outdoors, hes 10 , i have been taking him out with the airrifle and he loves that, but taking the airrifle in local fields might get me into bother and if i was approached by police it would put him of for ever, i also take him out camping in hammocks, we take the rifle there aswell, plinking, making cattys, ect ect, the stuff most of us did when we were young but the generation now are glued to the tv or laptops and playstations, , ive just bought a saluki pup, now 7 months old so bringing that on at mo, he seems to be loving the hunting and wildcamping but have no permition to do it, i would help around the farm when i could, that would be no problem at all, and we would both respect the land, infact when camping, there would be no trace left, im a ex soldier and my son is a good lad, just trying to get him of that computer and out in the fresh air, he does seem to really love it but like i say, we have no permition and if the police did stop us, it would really put him of, i do no this is a long shot but hoping someone has either a bit of wood local to newcastle, whickham , that we could use, we would also tidy it up, cut back trees, ect ect, what ever needed doing, anyway, thanks for readying, atb lads, john , jai Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 3,066 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 IMO...You and your boy need to get yourselves smartly dressed and go door knocking...it would get him out and hopefully get a bit of permission for yourselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shootinforfood 18 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 congrats on the permission mate. when I went looking, I turned up in my work uniform, which was then shirt tie and trousers. offered my services as an electrician, and also let him know I could weld and qualified to work on hydraulics, pneumatics and water systems. got the first on I asked on, have had a lot of paid work from him too, but obviously, the small jobs I do for free to keep him sweet for letting me shoot his land. have just rewired his house cheap, and he has told me he is buying 3 more fields that will need clearing of pests Quote Link to post Share on other sites
