psycho Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Wear full combats and cam cream also a pair of thigh high. 6 inch chromium heel rubber boots.... or dress smartly in jeans, shirt and boots The later will probably be best until you get a permission..then the former if you must and you think the boots will improve your shooting Edited April 29, 2017 by psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 dont wear a dress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Wear a shirt and tie, don't bother with a waistcoat and jacket as you just want to be smart casual. Ohh and tell the farmer if he says no to you that you were going to pay him to shoot the land as you walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackenzie Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not overly smart just like jeans, shirt and a tweed jacket. You just want to give the impression that you're smart and tidy and don't look like the person that's going to leave gash and spent ammo everywhere. Also if they say know ask them if they know any other farmers that need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wear one of these jackets the groom wears at an Indian wedding, you know the one covered in £50 notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 You could go in top hat and tails and be a complete clod. The personal aspect is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wear my work clothes mostly and give them a business card. I'm a joinery company so normally get dragged in lol. I've turned up in combats /cammo before but why not ? I recon I get 90% I ask on and the only reason not to get it normally is its syndicate. I guess I do my homework first tho and find out who the farmer is, name, type of farming etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 A pink Mohican haircut, piercings through your nose, tattoos on your head and neck, superdry tee shirt and Burberrys check headwear, would speak volumes! So just wear ordinary clean, tidy, comfortable clothes, unless he has already made up his mind not to allow anyone (else?) to shoot his land......be courteous, the way you approach him is usually the important factor.....be prepared for many, many knockbacks!

Luckyshot Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I've always worn what ever clothes I wear to go shooting in mainly combats wellies and a dark top. Yea I've had knock backs but I've also gained a lot of permission as well. How many smartly dressed farmers do you see.

wymberley Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Now, with the odd exception, the dress is sorted; when? Never at mealtimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not that it should, and it's never happened to me, but someone in camo would put me off immediately. Don't know why, and it's awful, but just being truthful. Must say thinking about it, I've not had any contact from people wanting to shoot for a couple of months. That'll change when the combines are started up 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 show an interest in what type of farming it is (home work) harvest & planting/sowing times if weather is against them can be awkward, dress casual/tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seriously wouldn't bother me, as long as you're not western power, they do more damage to our property than a Russian hacker does to other things...

The Mighty Prawn Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Must say thinking about it, I've not had any contact from people wanting to shoot for a couple of months. That'll change when the combines are started up I believe they're all in a holding pattern circling the M5, M42, M6 awaiting the start of harvest before they swoop in!

'They' the non winter shooters can hear a glow plug for miles. I jest not, the minute the rape gets sprayed I'll be door knocked until it drives me to distraction.
