Daniel cain 45,661 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 You will have to Knock on doors like the rest of us...be prepared for some knock backs..the odd get f****d!..stick at it and you may get lucky...NO MEMBERS ARE JUST GOING TOO hand over their hard earned permissions ..not to you or anyone one else comes asking 4 Quote Link to post
The one 8,483 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Another great 1st post why is someone thats never met /saw you going to give you permission over the internet ? . Put your sunday best gear on and go knocking doors your asking someone youve never met to let you and a mate wonder over there home with a gun is a risk but at least if your asking at there door they can see you and it lessens the risk your a fruit cake 1 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,231 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Or just feck the perm off go where you like when you like with who ya like. Ill be honest ferreting without a dog most farmers wave at ya round here only bit of ferreting at end of the day. 2 Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 My advice don’t go knocking at the moment, harvest is very stressful for farmers and you may not catch them at their most friendly at the moment! 1 Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,643 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 My advice is don’t ask on a hunting forum , be better off joining few horsey ones or small holding /farming ones and asking . Quote Link to post

Iv at least ask 20+ farms and I know some of them as I do a bit of ratting as well but they don’t seam to want me in there fields. I fink it because there’s a lot of hare courses around at this time of year il just keep asking about I fink . Maybe have better luck after the crops are cut like some of you said .

The one 8,483 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Think out side the box mate research parks , collage grounds etc get insurance be prepared to do a risk assesment you can often make good numbers in these places 1 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,661 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Never ever offer to pay....your providing a free service keep at it,once all the crops are cut,stocks stopped breeding,you may get a few let you on . Don't hurt to offer doing some free manual work.. .fencing ,roofing,sort any moles etc...they all enjoy something for nothing 1 Quote Link to post
Owenm 0 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cheers lads il keep at it Quote Link to post
Guss33 375 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 This is the way I go about it with a flyer go for a drive talk to farmers when you see them out in in the paddock doing something I found knocking on doors don’t get you far. But once you get onto one it some how just rolls on to others by word of mouth. 1 Quote Link to post
Owenm 0 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Yes I think that will help a lot mate make sense really if you went to speak to a stranger at work you would give them a business card thanks . Quote Link to post
