Can See Why People Poach

[TROY_BOY 62]

If I was landowner I would not give anybody permission, I want my share of the buzz chasing poachers with my land rover and man biting dog.

 

Because I am sure the basta*ds who have chased me over the years enjoyed every minute of it.

got chased yesterday on some of the most loaded land i know spent 3hours in a forest waiting on dark maybe if I keep asking they give me permo only after a few runs a week farmer

All the permissions I have I got from meeting farmers in local pubs, drop into the conversation your in the building game, offer them a few freebies, and your half way to getting permission, farmers are greedy bastar*s by nature and love anything for nothing.

 

Local farmer here refused me for years, few half packs of bricks and blocks , bits and pieces of drainage and timber, now I shoot deer on his land and run lurchers, even get the odd dig for terrier lads.

to be fair iv been quite lucky when poaching i got my only perm while out poaching except for that iv never realy been confronted by the farmer,but maybe thats because im all ways out before light,yet iv been stopped and questioned quite a few times when iv just been walking the dog in the middle of the day pisses me off even followed for 4 or 5 fields the other week by a farmer on a public footpath,"you cant walk them type of dogs on here" he says...wan*er

Got caught poaching last night,farmer says you've no right to be here......a said you don't know what you're talking about all the boys on the hunting life said it was sound :) haha

Farmers around my area don't want running dogs on they land around live stock don't mind you shooting them but for me it's about my dogs getting a run not quantity of rabbits one farmer even said he come out shooting with me

Have two Boys and two Girls primary school age, go live in a village surrounded by farms heaving with Rabbits.

get them into the local village primary school, your kids will pal up with local farmer kids, you go to all school events, where you will mix with the local Farmers and Wife's, bingo, tell them you are looking for ferreting permission.

You will soon have as much permission you can shake a stick at.

go to the local pub,if farmers are in thier you can make conversation,slowly,they will see you as a decent,reliable person.it takes time.knocking on doors will not get much.renting a space,store,container,etc etc will be good,get to know the farmer,pay your rent up in advance,offer him help.then you can mention ferreting first.i understand different areas maybe more difficult than others.

yea and after all that time and effort you find out there's feck all on the ground! Not having permission for lurcher work ain't the end of the world, just get your runs and go!
