clone Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 do any land owners actualy read this ? If so wouldn't it be easier for the land owners in these said areas post to say if they have land and if so if they would let people shoot there? just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 The subheading of this category is , "Post here for advice and help on gaining some extra shooting ground!" Everyone ignores this and just post that they want some shooting land in "such and such" area. This is of course 99.9% of the time, a complete waste of effort. I am suprised that the Administrators bother leaving this section on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 it should have a sub heading of go knock on some doors and stop waiting for shooting to come to you. shooting only comes to you from a recomendation, and you have to have land to get a recomendation. a few hours dropping a few letters off explaining that your insured and respect livestock etc will get you much further than 2 years of internet watching.

ernyha Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Knock Knock, "Please Mr xxxx, would it be possible to shoot those woodpigeon on your field of XXXX."......... Aye, can't see why not, you'll be doing me a favour......."Thankyou Mr xxxx". It works, believe me. After that when you have proved yourself as reliable and respect the country side by taking your litter home etc, it is downhill as far as you want to go. Knock,knock, "I see you have a lot of pigeons feeding on your xxxxx and as we have shot Mr xxxxx's farm down the road for some time, he said to come and ask you if we could shoot on yours." The name dropping has worked every time in my experience and only yesterday I was shooting on a farm close by that I had never been to before. On more than one occasion Mr xxxxx has phoned the prospective new farm for us in advance of our visit to ask permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
