ste12b Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Lee, I think it is the same everywhere, just keep trying . I carry local maps and permission slips when ever I go out (thanks to advice from iceman_lancs ) and just keep trying. I mark off the farms I have tried . Some say come back next year, some say no thanks. My area has had some lads doing it for years, although comments come back from farmers saying they don't turn up often enough, so heres hoping !

Frenchieboy Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 ahhh thanks ste, were can i get one of those permission slips from?? sounds like the only way forward mate. cheers Lee, I see that you say you are from Wigan so i guess that you come under the Lancashire Firearms Office. If I am right then all you have to do is phone them up and ask them to send you a few "Land Authority Forms" - You actually only need one as you are allowed to photocopy them. If this fails then drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send one through at a scanned attachment! Hope this helps mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste12b Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 ahhh thanks ste, were can i get one of those permission slips from?? sounds like the only way forward mate. cheers Lee, I use the BASC one linky thing Their have been multiple threads and examples, so if you don't like the one above or the one Frenchieboy suggests then have a look on the forums via search. I also carry general permissions and season info, just in case. best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
