Bshafto 34 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Had an early finish from work the other day, thought it would be a good time to go hunting for permission for the future I started with the farms closest to me which i had no luck well i had no luck at all as it happens but thats not the point. I went to one farm where a woman answered the door i explained that i was a local lad hoping for some permission ferreting , shooting with an air rifle or taking a lurcher. Well f**k me sideways she set off ranting at me, i said ow woman im trying to do the right f***ing thing by asking!! Why is it you turn up been polite doing the right thing by asking and theres always someone to make an issue over it Quote Link to post

terryd 8,520 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Keep trying plenty of nice land owners left just got to find them. I all ways feel a muppet going up to some strangers door you never what reception your going to get but on the whole even if its a no it tends to a polite one and I am all ways polite back. Hell of a privilege to be let on some ones land especially now a days. Took me 3 years on one spot to get permission as he had been chasing people off all the time. I used to call every season but he was all ways nice about it then last year said fine you carry on just text me when your about Quote Link to post

COMPO 54 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am in the process of moving and will be starting all over again. I have had one or two like you describe, I always leave them a letter with my name, address and phone numbers. I also point out if they want eyes and ears about when they aren't I could do that, I have always challenged and chased poachers off my permissions and called the landowners too...... Its extra security as well as pest control 2 Quote Link to post

Accip74 7,112 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The most annoying thing is when the landowner says yes........& then a week later says no after speaking to his keeper, happened to me a few times.......:-( Quote Link to post
