Guest lurcherboy2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 i knocked 10 or 11 farms 1 day and had permission on 1. the farm i had permission on the landowner has a BIG name in the area and he sorted us with plenty more permission, we knocked other doors and farmers said no but then we showed my mates driving license to show who he actually was and the landowner wrote it down and give us permission took our reg number and names etc etc, then we mentioned out main farmers name and theyre very good friends, we have permission in 1 big circle in this 1 place we have 4 big farms all in a circle, even if you get turned down dont worry what do you have to lose? 9 or 10 farmers turned us down and then the week after we had 3 out of 3 its no harm knockinc, knock knock, hello, oh hello my names ............ do you mind if we do a bit of ferreting on your land, heres my drivers license and reg plate you can write anything about me down if you like just want to work my ferrets on some land ill respect the land the livestock and yourself and i will phone and let you know everytime before i come here, that works for us mate shouldn't see why it wouldnt work for anyone else, soon as your in with 1 it turns to 2 then 3 and so on, go for it Quote Link to post
spike 0 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Luck of the draw mate. I sent out a dozen letters last week & only got 2 replies - both saying they had people shooting the land. Keep at it Quote Link to post
fin and fur 2 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 when you go around the farms ask if they want any help controlling rat numbers to start with it is surprising how many farmers i have come across who can get any number of hunters to control rabbitt numbers but cannot find people interested in ratting all the best fin and fur Quote Link to post
