ajm1979 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi folks, just had a lovely phone call from a farmer with a rabbit problem from an unlikely source. I was bored on Monday at work so decided to knock up a short introduction letter with a small advert and start sending out to local farms using yellow pages and google, before anyone says it I wouldn't normally send stuff in the post as knocking on doors has got to be better but I simply don't have time due to work at the moment. Being honest I really didn't expect anything from it but thought that doing something was better than nothing. I only sent 30 on Monday and will do the same once a week.I got home last night from shooting one of the golf courses I have permission on as the green keeper had phoned earlier in the day to ask me to concentrate on a certain area. To my surprise there was a message on my answering machine from a farmer 7 miles away asking me to call him about his rabbit problem. Spoke to the guy this morning place is riddled with rabbits and is about to plant maize soon, meeting him tomorrow night....happy days. Just goes to show permissions are out there its a case of finding them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajm1979 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just back from meeting the farmer on this new permission. Turns out to be approx 300 acres, good for rabbits, pigeons fox and crows potentially, just before I leave he tells me he has some fields down by the river which are great for duck shooting come winter and he has three of his own ponds that he is quite happy to feed up with barley all winter for me to have the duck shooting on ...I'm one happy fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
