southdowns_stalking Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just been to see another farmer today and have just added 363 acres to my shooting ground! Just stopped and started chatting to him a few weeks back and invited me over to have a look round, spend the last 3 hours driving round having a look. He has a pheasant shoot on there but has said so long as i dont shoot on a tuesday he is happy for me to do what i want. Its always nice when you pick up some new land and the owner/tenant are relaxed. A few more bottles need adding to the christmas list now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always stop and have a chat to any farmer/land owner, you never know who they know or what they want doing/help with! I have picked up some very small permissions, a couple of acers, and from that have have been asked to shoot rabbit, pigeon etc 100's/1000's of acres from a good friend/someone they know......
