Will Poon Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'm finding this topic quite interesting about Permissions , as I'm only a clay shooter I've been asked by 2 local land/farmers if I wanted to shoot on their land but I always decline their offer when I see them about, are permissions really like gold dust or does it depend on the area you live in ??

deershooter Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The thing I cannot understand is why would some one want to sell the shooting rights for £30-£60 ? £180 don't change any ones life and would end up opening a can of worms with the possibility of everyone loosing the right to shoot A now brainier from the start Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 We have a lot of written permission,but I doubt we would have them for long if the landowner thought we were 'selling it on'.Why don't you advertise for a few shooting buddies with a view to starting your own rough shooting syndicate if the land is suitable? You could always ask the landowner if he minds if you put down a few birds and start your own shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiedenny Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 If you have no shooting friends why not offer a few of here to go out with you, you could end up with a new good friend and invites to their permissions. for for the money you would make just not worth it. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I think it depends on where you live and more importantly who you know, after that it seems to come down to hard work, building relationships and getting a good rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The problem with letting "strangers" shoot your land is that you won't know who they really are. I gave permission to a pigeonwatch member who turned out to be a despicable paedophile, now serving a 12 year sentence for offences going back 30 years. I hope he didn't do anything horrible in my woods, but I'll never know for sure. Keep the land for yourself or allow people who you really know.

Pastiebap Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The bottom line is that the landowner/owner of shooting rights allows you to shoot the land, this "permission" does not give you any legal right of ownership or any legal right to say who can or cannot shoot the land too. As sportsmen we rely on others to show courtesy and manners when looking to shoot on land as "your" guest where "you" have been allowed to shoot.

topshunt Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 i take it the farmer would know and be happy that you are making money using his land, the reason i say this i know somebody that sold pigeon days on his permission. anyway mr farmer found out and no longer has said permission.
