toontastic Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Hi, would love to have land to take you out on, but I don't have any. I would suggest you get letter writing/door knocking and emphasise your qualifications and I'm sure you'll get plenty of interest. Good luck in finding somewhere.

Luke_roppa Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks toontastic, as we speak i have the missus writing letters out for me. Fingers crossed what i do for a living puts me a nose ahead of others trying as i can quite well imagine land owners get sick of folk asking for perm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Get door knocking mate, with the skills you have got I'm sure some farmers will rip your arm off, Good luck mate Atb Flynny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontastic Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 As I said mention your qualifications, it might just help grab the farmers attention. Also if you have a works van that mentions your trade try driving about in that when you go door knocking it may help. I know a sparkie who went door knocking in his works van, farmer noticed what he did for a living asked him to do a couple of small jobs and said the shooting was his.

Luke_roppa Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Unfortunately im no longer field service so no van, still in the trade tho so hopefully the letter will do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Good luck with the door knocking! I have done many lany farms over and over! We have a game shoot! You will need to see the keeper, or! We have a syndicate on here, or just not wanting anyone on their land! I have grown a little weary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiddy Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi luke personally I wouldn't go knocking on any farms yet , I would wait till the birds are hitting the rape in your area ( then march on the farms) Just spend 20 minutes driving round first and keep your eyes peeled for rape fields and make note cause sometimes the farmer who has the said field that's getting hammered might live miles away , and if you ask local farmers they will tell you who owns them . The main reason behind this is some shooters tend to not shoot in winter and are only fair weather shooters , I have had this myself as there nowhere in winter and at harvest time you cant get on the fields for em ( where were they in the winter when your freezing your b******'s off ) but still getting pretty good bags paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
