Shuter745 0 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Tried 5 different farms and cannot get a permission on any of them I don't know why I think it may be because of my age I feel too embarrassed now to try any more is there any other way of getting a permission?

Don't be embarrassed just keep trying loads and loads. Once you get 1 or 2 your sorted so long as your not a bellend. Once u get one and work it good and get on with the farmer u should get more dropping in your lap. 2 farms over has fox or rabbit problems and he's moaning to your farmer about it. Your farmer tells him he's got a guy on his land who does a good job and a good lad . Theirs your in to another farm Don't get dispondand 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stop.end 4,081 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 your going with your head down feeling defeated.... farmer can see a mile away your not confident...so how can you be confident and competent to be allowed on his land with valuable livestock or arable land. Chin up smartly dressed and don't just knock on door asking to hunt....strike up a conversation name drop a farmer near by say you were driving past and do a bit for such and such you noticed a few bunnies or whatever on the land does he need help with them or has he got them sorted...show him your insurance know what your talking about and still drop him your number if he has men hunting it..... and do this to not 5 farms.... but every farm you see or know in a 50/100 mile radius... if you want it you will eventually get it...but remember the old saying first impressions and all that! ..... if you want it enough you get out what you put in best of luck in 2016. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 5 farms? Well at least you've exhausted all possibilities then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,089 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Offer your number and free graft lambing coming soon plus loads of other farmer calendar crap but they appreciate help esp if its free but they'll watch you and judge you. If you carry yourself right they'll also evangelise you to other farmers and boom it snowball's from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
