donk 12 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Easiest way to get permission is to ask if you can ferret the land. A lot of land owners/ farmers dont mind you ferretting but arent so keen on you wandering round with a gun or dog. Theyve got to be able to trust you 100% before a lot of them will let you go shooting or dogging. And thats fair enough if you look at it from their point of view. They dont know if your the best shot in the land or some wanna be john Rambo,or if your dog is properly stock broken. The only permission i have got is with ferrets,then i was able to take my small dog for marking,a while later i was allowed to take my young dog,just so he could learn to mark etc. Once a farmer starts to get to know you he becomes a nicer person, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

will.f11 24 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 just ask for ferreting with nets, and say in return you will help with shearing in the summer, or beating if its an estate in the winter. I know quite a few farmers through dad and they dont mind what we do, but if you start off with nets, and gain trust, and show him dogs guns etc. Then he might become a friend. Perhaps invite him out to come and shoot over the ferrets etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
