Cakie174 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 If you have the permission to shoot over a farmers land. Does this only account for land that is owned by him or will it include land that is leased? If not do you also require permission of the current lease holder?

Matt.Tsk Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Just to be on the safe side i would the last thing u want is for the person who rents it to call the feds. Loads of hastle!!! plus the person who rents it is likley to have some more land elsewhere u might be able to shoot on. All the best matt.

Columbus Polumbus Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Traditionally you have two aspects to this question and can be answered thus: If you are a land owner you do not necissarily own the shooting rights, thats why it says on your ticket "permission from the land owner or the person whom has the shooting rights" Just because someone owns land it doesn't follow they own the shooting rights aswell they are generally sold off seperately or if you want you can sell the land and retain the shooting rights which means the owner of said rights or his rep can exercise his right over the land and as a landowner there is little you can do about it. You must provide access. If a farmer leases land or fields it does not necisarrily follow he has the shooting rights so if you go a shootin be careful you could be committing armedtrespass in the pursuit of game which is a criminal offence. Or poaching, either way your ticket(s) are at risk best to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdev Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I agree C P. While out shooting yesterday,i went to a field in which i hav,nt shot now for over a year. So set up on the rape field and knocked a few woodies out when this 4 track came roaring up the field. This farmer jumped out and asked who had gave me permisson to shoot the field? i told him who owned the field and he agreed, but said he had leased the field for the last six months and i should of asked him? Well any way i told him i would pack up and go and said sorry. He said its ok for me to Stay and shoot but make sure you no who has got the land, as it is always changing hands. And off he went CONTENT. As for my self another 46 woodies in the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Many Farmers lease the land they farm.. I always ask them if it is leased when obtaining their permission. I then contact the landowner (with their blessing) to tell them that their tenant has given me permission to shoot subject to their agreement... And then the local Keeper.. And then the local Constabulary... I give all my address and telephone number and the model and registration of my truck... I then give something to the Farmer in return, either a couple of bottles of wine every so often or a bottle of scotch... I am a firm believer in "What goes round comes round" Recently I secured rough shooting rights over a very large area of Private Estate by following these simple procedures... FM.
