Guest sushie Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Make sure you wear smart casual clothes! Say that you no they havent really got a vermin problem but can you use there land to train your dogs and ferrets if they have the odd rabbit to chase! Quote Link to post

SeanTheHawker 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 start of by saying, sorry to disturb you, tell them that its alot safer than shooting,snaring and posioning. tell them about your 3rd party insurance cover if you have it. and if they say no, say thank you for your time. then it leaves it open for next year Quote Link to post

prohunter 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 i am just wondering what does this third party covering for. is it good to have it or not? scotty Quote Link to post
Nipper 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Leave the dogs at home. Look clean and tidy. First farm you go to ask them if they need anyone to control vermin with ferrets. If they say no, ask them if they know anyone that does? Get their names and when you go to the relevant farm, say so and so sent you as they knew they were looking for someone to control their vermin! Don't take refusals personally..... Quote Link to post

Don't take refusals personally..... passing by the area and building up from a casual hello or good morning then slip it into conversation if you see they need a hand shifting somthing even better but never stare at anything for too long they will think your gonna lift it if your young and if all that dont work knock the f***er on the head and work it anyway :whistle: Quote Link to post
