scimitar Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Good luck finding something, i used to do work on a shoot in northumberland, but since they stopped shooting i've not been able to find anything else. Everywhere seems to have someone. Only advice I can give is try to offer something in return for a bit shooting. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolerking Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Firstly, i have only just joined this forum. I too have been trying for some time to gain permissions of my own. The areas i can shoot on, tend to be too sparse of quarry. So i branched out looking for a permission of my own. As stated, i have tried knocking on several places and farms in North/south/east and west Northumberland, where there is obvious signs of crop damage from birds and rabbit warrens all over. This was all to no avail, i wrote letters to estate managers and farm owners in the hope of looking more professional, including google earth images of the said damage. Again no success, the message back, would be that there was already farm hands doing the job or others. I offered to pay, do some form of work in exchange. Still nothing!!! The impression i get, is a distinct lack of trust and suspicion is being expressed. i enjoy shooting and farms need protection from pests, a win win for both surely. Yet only frustration.

scimitar Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Since losing all my shooting due to landowner becoming anti shooting I too have sent hundreds of letters and visited dozens of farms in northumberland, I've offered to pay, work or swap but to no avail. I also offer references. I'd love the chance to get out shooting regular. I keep writing and door knocking and so should you, you may get loads of NO's but you only need 1 YES.
