do you give your permission owner gifts?

[John-B 4]

Just thought it would be a nice gesture as a way of saying thanks for the permission to give him a little gift, a bottle of whiskey and a box of belgian chocolate liquors, he doesn't eat rabbits as we offered him some before, could work out expensive in the long run as the permission list gets longer but I suppose it's a small price to pay for a good hobby

Only at christmas time,Remember that you are doing them a favour,if you didnt keep the vermin under control,he would have to pay for a company to rid them for him.

 

A simple bottle of scotch or some choccys is sufficient.

they are doing you a favour, letting you rather than the other 10 people waiting to ferret that feild ferret them. you think that a farmer really want some non experts walking around his feild of crops. I am always thankful for permissions.

On my main permissions I give a bottle of whisky at Christmas, they clear hedges and under growth for me, the little permissions who dont get a card.

Is that right ...ever heard of Rabbit control - Pests Act 1954..

 

I have over 30 yrs experience fella,In all my time providing a service, it was always a tip of the hat from the landowner

and a thanks from him.

I have never had anyone else go on any farm I had access to.

 

Maybe its different were you live,or times have changed

 

How much do you have to pay the farmer to ferret :whistling:

We always give a bottle of whisky to our farmers by way of thanks doesn't do any harm to keep them sweet. On our main farm the guy luvs buckfast so he gets a couple of bottles everytime we go....our permission has increased 10fold.

you must be the olny person that has a ferret where you live as we often get calls asking for permission to go ferreting. The other farms i ferret i am thankful for the chance to go ferreting on and as i am friendly with them and dont go there strolling round thinking that i am doing him a favor climing through his hedges and digging holes when the ferrets lay up. i cant say that i know of a farmer that doesnt hunt himself so he is sharing his rabbits with me

Ha Ha Akton, with an attitude like that you would go far down here, every farmer/land owner you spoke like that to would tell you to fu.k right off their land.
