lloydi73 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Following on from my last post where J-Dog set me up with an incredible piece of land, I have been lamping it now once a week for about 6/8 weeks and taken about 100 rabbits in all I'd estimate. I texted the farmer before going and just after I'd been giving him a brief report. Well, it's paid off as he texted me this morning advising he has something else he wants me to look at......joy, my knees are trembling at the excitement. The moral of the story I suppose, treat the land with dignity, respect the landowner and keep them informed of your movements, and definitely definitely respect each other on here, as without this and J-Dog's great faith in me, I would never have had this amazing opportunity.....

Savhmr Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Spot on, well done. On the land I shoot, I stay in walkie-talkie contact with the landowner just in case he needs to know where I am at any given time. We use licensed VHF because mobile signal's so poor there. As you say, keeping the landowner informed and being courteous often pays dividends both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well done that man. I agree that respecting the landowners wishes is the key to success. I have a number of pieces of ground all of which are handled differently (phone first, text first, turn up, turn up but park in yard etc etc). I also think it pays to put in the hard work and hours straight away to create the right impression, give the landowner confidence and also let them know you are serious. Keep up the hard work.

The Juicer Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've already posted about this, but I was very respectful about the land , and I got threw off, due to a senile land owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 To many people just want to turn up and shoot when they feel like it and when there is something to shoot . If you want to build a good relationship with your farmer then you need to be able to offer him a service with the pest control . Don't be afraid to offer help around the farm if you think he needs it . I have often pitched in when something needed doing . Helping out putting rabbit fences up when he was short handed ,helping to repair broken down farm machinery and a few years ago when he was a big cattle man checking on the cattle on the marshes that were 15 miles from the farm when the stock man was ill .how did it benefit me ? Well the farmer and me have been friends for 30 years and I have 3000 acres of land to shoot over . No body shoots on the farms without my permission .
