Land to shoot over/ferret wanted (youngster)....please

[blacta]

Helo

 

I was wondering if anyone in the hampshire area has or knows of land over which i may be able to shoot pigeons and/or go ferreting accompanied by my father.

 

Every youngster needs a place to seek out his interests!

I am fourteen but have shot for six years and ferreted for two. i am keen in my countrysports but my fathers job is very time consuming so only weekends are available.

 

The reason i ask is because the landowner who lets me ferret and shoot his land has a game shoot so my forrays are difficult and i shoot over his land in the close season but only until the poults go down.

 

so please can anyone help??

 

any info/help would be much appreciated.

 

many thanks Toby

ask around man, most people get told where to go when they ask for permission on here,

 

but dont worry about your age! im 15 and ive got over 1000 acres i can shoot, i just got it by knocking on doors.

i know you are young, but its a not very good idea to ask for permission on your very first post on a forum ( people would maybe like to get to know what your about first, so after a few post etc it may be better)- i know it can be hard getting permission to shoot nowadays, but i think you'll have to do the same as the rest and just knock on doors untill it comes up trumps.

If you are rabbiting with ferrets and nets only, most landowners realise that you are no threat to their pheasants and Autumn/Winter is the best time to get the rabbits.

Explain to any concerned Landowners that you are not using a gun or a dog, things may change.
