kip270 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi Mate, your best bet is to get out there and knock on the doors. Nothing ventured nothing gained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 10 minutes spent looking through the last 20 threads on this section would be time incredibly well spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romney marsh boy Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks for all the advice ,some of it that was pinned seems like a good idea,Just so you lot dont think of me as some lazy *** who cant be botherd to get out there and ask about, i would just like to say i have lost count of the amount of landowners doors i have knocked on then to be told " Sorry i have someone shooting already" Unfortunatley a majority of the land in my area is being used for turfing and a very large chunk of that is all by one company,even though my family rents a small parcel of land off them they wont give me permission due to the fact they already have someone shooting for them, who must be ex special forces as his cammo is so good in 10 years i have never seen anyone out there trying to make a dent in the rabbit population. Hopefully if i use some of the tips you guys have left and give it another try i may have more luck,otherwise i'm taking up tiddly winks.

Highlander Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 RMB in a place like Romney Marsh I'd guess, as it's been shot over since not long after 1066, you'd better make some local friends as the permissions have probably all been well sewn up!

pin Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 A big tip which you may not have seen, get cards made with your BASC/other responsible organisation number on them, telephone numbers etc and always leave a card, always ask if you can call back. It really works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romney marsh boy Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cheers the calling cards is one of the better ideas i am gonna try used some info found on another post ordered 250 and the best bit is that they were free (apart from the p&p),i hope i get some results 'cos i'm **** at tiddly winks.
