Spaniel Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Maybe you need todo a follow up visit or phone call next to the farmers you have sent letters to. Its always best to meet face/face IMO to be honest . Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Its easy to knock people, but at least MORTON is trying and be sure Farmers will not turn you down because of spelling errors. The best way to get permission, is to firstly define the area you are prepared to travel to from your home to shoot. Then drive the area and knock on the Farmer/Landowners doors, choosing a time that should be convenient (late morning, early afternoon can be good). Be tidily dressed, have your gun licence(s), proof of insurance/BASC or other Organisation membership card with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Morton it isnt easy to get some land of your own to be honest but there are guys on here who have got land after a few knocks on the door. The land i shoot on as all been gained through the Father in law and thats due to him shooting on the farmers land 40 years or so ago...i have done some knocking myself and nothing as come of it at present. But I also have met some good people through this and another forum and I have been invited out Pigeon shooting (me old mucker Darren) is a prime example and invites me out for a shoot or should i say a laugh very often , plus i have a lamping trip planned for a couple of weeks time with a very nice guy from another site. So just wanted to say yes its great to get your own bit of land but it is also great to go out and help others on this forum who may need the help especially if the pigeons are hitting the ground hard. Other then that keep your eyes open and if you see plenty of pigeons or crows about knock on the farmers door, he can only say yes or No Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
