    i can see from the above people are really trying hard to get permissions now why is it so difficult now has something changed 

    I honestly dont know why its such a task now to gain permissions. Like ive said previously, i dont know if its the farmers just being extra vigilant or what but its like finding hens teeth now getting a good permission.. or even a bad one at that 😔

    Hi stu 2309, It is best if you ring and talk directly to John ,he’s a very straight forward guy, and in my experience very helpful. He’ll sort you out ,I’ve no doubt. Good luck Paul

    I've been wondering about joining too.

    Very few crops near me, it's mainly dairy and sheep. I'm right on the edge of open moorland. 

    The permissions are hard to come by despite the fact I know several farmers personally. 

    I had emailed but thought he didn't have any permission in this area as he never replied.

    Maybe I should ring too, maybe he's too busy getting more permissions to reply😉

    Its exactly the same where i live. Alot of poaching happens round my way and farmers are reluctant to say yes due to it.

    Ruins the sport for the genuine shooters. Even when i tell them im Ex Army they still hesitate then decline.

    Good luck buddy 👍🏻

  3. Anyone know if this site is monitered anymore??

    Ive emailed the enquiries address a couple of time but had no reply.

    Thinking of joining as shooting in the durham/teesside is VERY hard to come by as all farmers/land owners are reluctant to give out permission.

    Thanks is advance

  4. Really contemplating joining a wildfowling club in the North East within the new season or next if theres room for a new comer?

    Never tried the sport before but never been one to shy away from new things.

    My grandad used to do it many moons ago up on the scottish borders and told me about it.

    Thanks in advance

  5. Fair point Scutt mate and I have stated that I don't mind traveling at times but all the lads/posts I've seen for people to shoot with all seems to be down south.

     

    On another hand I only heard about this forum and another forum yesterday so haven't exactly had time to get my feet under the table as much as others and make 'friends' as of yet.

     

    I'm not one for trying to steal peoples perms or anything like that, I'm just a young lad trying to get back into the swing of things and gain experience and help out where I can.

     

    as for mid week shoots etc im in the same boat as many others I work mon-fri and most sundays as a nine day fortnight so I only really have a Saturday and a random day every fortnight to persue my hobby.

  6. Its a close circle down here mate, no one gives anything away at all. Its a selective circle.

     

    I've been trying always for years but never ever had any luck.

     

    Suppose you have to be in with the right crowd and I just cant it unfortunately

     

    No, but you'll need a full tank of fuel to get there.

    Many people find beating as a way to open doors, have you tried speaking to shoots near you.

  7. To be honest mate, I've just bought my first semi, I got a Beretta A400, cant knock it so far.

     

    I'm quite a geek when I come to buy things like shotguns, cars etc. and every review I've watched have said there pretty much the best on the market followed extremely closely by the Browning Maxus and the Winchester sx3.

     

    always a though but if you like the more conventional style I love the Beretta silver pigeons and also starting to take a liking to the browning b525 recently.

     

    I think its all personal preference at the end of the day and what your main quarry/target is.

  8. Hello all,

     

    I'm new to the forum,

     

    Looking for any opportunity to do any kind of shooting with shotguns, times are hard in my area as no one seems to want to let people shoot around my area :sad1:

     

    More time out with the gun the better for me.

     

    don't mind travelling but preferably in the North East area would be perfect.

     

    Thanks in advance

  9. Hello everybody,

     

    I'd just like to introduce myself,

     

    My name is Stu, I'm 25 and I'm from County Durham.

     

    Just a little bit about myself, I was in the British Army for 4 years, served in the Royal Corp of Signals as a Radio Operator based down in Warwickshire. left the army in 2013 and started working as a fibre optic cabler for BT Openreach.

     

    Hunting was beaten into me by my granddad from a young age, shooting, dog work, ratting you guys know the score. I gained my shotgun licence at 17 and inherited my granddads shot guns (Mossberg 12G Pump Action and Baikal 12G Side by Side). due to Army commitments I had to sell up with the shotguns but regained my license once leave the Armed Forces.

     

    I am now the owner of a 12G Beretta A400 Xcel which is an excellent gun so far and has never skipped a beat so far (touch wood) which I use for clay shooting at the moment with a close friend who is also into his shooting.

     

    I'm pretty much an all round shooter/hunter, ill have a good crack at any type of hunting, so if there's anyone who needs a regular shooting/hunting partner im always willing to try and help. I'm also willing to travel and help where possible.

     

    that's enough about me (probably heard it all before) and I look forward to meeting/talking to you all.

     

    Cheers for having a read and happy hunting.

     

    Stu
