Sinistercr0c Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Went out today even though the weather was rubbish, and whilst scouting one of the fields I shoot over, I noticed they were discing one of the fields next door. There was also a pickup parked by the tractor and the two blokes were busy talking. My immediate thought was it must be the farmer, so I wandered over. After a brief chat I now have permission from another farmer. The moral of the story is, if you see anyone in the fields, wander over, be polite and enquire whether they are, or know the farmer. Let them know who you are, what you do and if they might consider allowing you to shoot vermin over their land. You never know, you might just get that all important permission..... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanl50 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have just helped out a farmer with his Land rover, repairing it, FOC of course, he had let me shoot on just one field and guess what I now have the whole farm, and it really amazing he has land all around Ipswich and the surrounding villages, I didn't even know was his, some of it meadow land which I thought belonged to another farmer with no chance quite surprisingly its within 5 Min's of my house! lucky old me :blink: He is also going to chat to his neighbours to let me shoot on their land.
