unsure about new permission any ideas.

hey, just got into shooting and ferreting and went out today to the yorkshire dales in search of my own permission instead of relying on my mates, got lucky with the first 1 of a few i asked, said i could go ferreting on his sheep land approx 2 miles square, only problem is there are 3 or 4 other people he told me about who are allowed on his land to ferret and i have to pay £5 every time i go per person, just wondered if this was the norm. any comments would be much appreciated as new to all this cheers.

no mate i never heard about paying to go hunting on anyones land i go to 4 farms and all i do is give them a bottle end of year just to say thank you.

Tell him to get knotted

no mate, thats not the norm, tell him to get stuffed.... It's his responsibility as a land owner to get rid of the rabbits, if not he will have to pay someone to come and remove them for him.

im in all your boat, after been on my mates and just pullin up and opening the padlock on the gate with the key they gave him, i feel like im been done for, only thing is its my only permission so im in no place to pick and choose. do i use it till i keep knocking and get more or do i not go to stop them all from charging us and make a stand.

keep knocking on doors mate,myself and john-b had the same problem.we were ferreting local and decided enough was enough.we put a full day in knocking on every door we came across and we finally got on three farms.i can honestly say this bloke is having youre life.try elsewhere mate and see what you can come up with

[Guest tewkesferreter]

if the areas 2 miles square and theres 3 or 4 of you on there working it,there cant be alot to go at,unless hes keeping it restocked. never heard of pay as you go ferreting before.

[andy s410c 61]

He must be running a get rich quick scheme Pay as you go ferreting

How much is a season ticket.

[jazz_11 5]

you may find that his farm is used by the local pest control club ehcne the reason why he charges 5 pound.. if not see if tehre are many rabbits there if there is visit it once or twice as if you manage to get big bags then 5 for some fun and free ferret food isnt bad although its not normal to be charged....

[Guest tewkesferreter]

maybe its catch and release.

[Fat-Ferret 857]

Id tell him to jump, we asked a farmer last sunday afternoon if we could go in his ground yesterday, After we where finished and were packing up yesterday evening, he came over and asked us if we "Wouldnt Mind" coming back a day or two....We didnt need much convincing!

[stealthy1 3,964]

Is there a catch limit like on some trout lakes, you'll know if his lands any good, because there will be a que outside his farm.

well its sumwere to go for now cheers for all your advice. will go have a crack at it as i saw quite a few rabbits in the fields from the roadside. will use it as an excuse to go knocking on doors if nothing else. will let you know how i get on. dont suppose anybodys heard of anybody with need for rabbit control/ferreters in the dales or surrounding areas or any places with over populated rabbits, cheers.
