Greyman 28,178 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I always found door knocking or even approaching farmers out on there land the best way of obtaining permission, it's harder to say no to your face than it is to chuck your letter in the bin or ignore an email, I would expect to get at least two yes,s for a day driving round asking, oh and know one has ever asked me for insurance, they usually ask that you shut gates behind you and don't shoot the sheep, ....not in suburban Lancashire....maybe you will get a result but the effort will make you sick. Iv worked on farms all over Lancashire and we got people knocking weekly I recon you just need a beater Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooke123 6 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 .... seriously Iv had half a dozen lads wanting to get into fieldsports... beating opened up a whole world to them, they get vermin shooting, they meet people who run pigeon shooting syndicates, wildfowling clubs etc etc It really is a good way to get out there and get known... Do you drive? Sounds good to me. I do drive indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,766 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Always good to have insurance, it's good practise plus, you can include it in any letter you write or card you gave printed. It shows you take what you do serious, especially where guns are concerned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
