smirff Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi all ... have been following this site for the last 6 months or so and have already learned so much, i havent added many posts as i think its best to let everyone think your stupid than open your mouth and let them know your stupid ... i took delivery of my new gun last month a left handed hatsan escort semi automatic 12g in camo, i know loads of people slate it but at the time the price and guarantee where right for me. After hitting the clays for a couple of months i decided it was time to search for my first permission, a friend of the family who signed my authority to shoot over his land is not that keen as it turns out to have shooters and i didnt want to push it so i decided to head out and have a look for myself. My house backs onto a railway line and behind that is a 200 acre farm mostly sheep and cattle but there is a large wooded area that runs the full length of a large field which having lived here for many years i know is used by roosting woodies, so on friday i called round to see the farmer ... after introducing myself and where i lived i asked for permission to shoot his bottom field where the woods are, after a bit of a pause he said he already had people shooting the land, knocked back i thought !!! I thanked him for his time and i produced a card from vista print recommended by people on this site and asked him to give me a call if an opportunity arose, as i turned and walked away he said ... do you shoot magpies ? i said i will shoot what ever you want me to shoot !!! he then told me that nobody has shot the land in 5 years !!! and said he would be happy for me to shoot, infact shoot away boy was his words i think So dont know if it was my good looks, new next shirt or the vista print card that sold me but thanks for the info everyone, will hopefully put a few pics up of the land soon, i have another farm to call at tomorrow so fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste12b Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well done It was probably just being polite and not pushing it that showed you were the right person for the job. That definitely works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
