Hi Naymo,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Please fill in your profile, some folks won't talk to people from never-never land.

 

The best time to ask for permission is when the woodies are actually hammering those crops on a particular field.

 

If you ask nicely to go down there "for the day" to "keep them off", you will rarely be refused.

 

A lot of guys make the mistake of tapping up farmers when there's no current pigeon problem, the standard answer will be, "Sorry, the shooting's all taken", but if you do as described above, you've got a good chance.

 

It goes without saying that you should leave only the odd footprint and a few white feathers on the field, and always drop the farmer a bottle of Scotch on your first foray, that always works well.

 

Good luck,

 

Cat.

beter when the farmer is not busy.dont approach with all guns to fire as to say,just speak politely and offer your services to them free of charge and you never know.

good luck

Be patient as well. I found once I had my first permission, other come rolling in when you least expect it

As soon as you are able to walk and talk mate

 

If you get knocked back ask if you can ask again in 6 months and most will say yes.
