Shooting permission wanted South Yorkshire


Recommended Posts

I've been trying for 2 years now no one seems intrested wish you good luck

 

Getting your first bit of permission is always the hardest, a little luck is often key also.

Choose the time to ask, watch for when birds are hitting the crops and actually doing damage; Maybe ask if the farmer would like you to keep the birds off just for that day rather than full permission can be a good starting point.

 

Be active here, go to social meets, get to know people and your time will come. I was looking for longer than 2 years, lost count of the number of knock backs I got, and now I couldn't take on any more permissions because of how much I have; Don't give up, this is a past time you tend to get out what you put in, and that stands true even after you get some land to shoot on!!

 

 

Good luck

Is there a shoot close by that you could offer your services to as a beater, better still if you have a dog offer to dog in for the keeper. This will open many doors for you. I am also new to game shooting I have shot clay for over thirty years only got into game two seasons ago. Now I have been offered a full gun on the small syndicate shoot that I was beating for free over two seasons plus I have permission to shoot rabbit etc with rifle and occasional pigeon or rook with shotgun on the estate that i beat and load for presumably by way of payment for dogging in for the keeper. We get a few boundary days plus a beaters day. This was all after a chance meeting with the keeper. It is the best way forward Imo as the game world seems to be one of networking.

Good luck to you

+1 This is by far the best way for anyone to get doors to open for you .
