cjw Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FORUM TO ASK FOR SHOOTING PERMISSION Advice on Gaining permission In essence, gaining shooting permission is asking someone you may have never met, for permission onto his/her land with a gun to control their vermin or game. Think about what you would look for in a person asking you for the same thing. There are many members on here with years of experience of successfully gaining shooting permission, so to summarise here are few useful tips. In general, you will NOT gain shooting permission: • By posting ‘permission required’ on internet forums • By writing letters (sometimes works, but with low success rate) • By sending emails Actions that may help you gain permission are: • Getting out there and looking at what is going on, for instance. 1. Are there crops being hammered by pigeons? 2. Are there playing fields/golf courses etc overrun with rabbits? 3. Are farmers complaining about increasing fox numbers and attacks? • Knocking on doors, or speaking to the people responsible for the land in question. This way the person gets to meet you, and is able form an opinion of your character, there and then. It is also harder for them to refuse you face to face than it is to throw another letter in the bin. • Joining a club, or ‘networking’ with like minded local people • Socialise, track down the landowners or farmers in their local and mingle • Once you get into the dialogue, find out exactly what they are looking for and make sure you cover the “do’s and don’ts†• Contact your local keeper and ask him if he needs any beaters, and then stick with it, be punctual and polite. Once you are known you may well be rewarded. Once you have gained permission: • Look after it, there may well be someone like you, just waiting for you to mess up so they can take over. • Use your common sense, don’t leave gates open or drop litter and always pick up your empties. • Don’t shoot anything you haven't the authority to shoot. • Get a decent map and make sure you know the boundaries, footpaths, etc. • Look after your host (farmer, landowner etc), find out what they like to drink. Buy them a bottle at Christmas time. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just a thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortonshooting Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Cheers guys for the advice. Bit new to these forum things. Again CHEERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Some of the above may seem a bit harsh, and luckily you have taken it in the right spirit. Shooting forums are full of people offering good advice (normally) but they are also full of people who either have land they have worked hard to get and hard to keep, or who would like to get some/some more shooting land. So by definition, they are about the worst places to go looking for shooting land - but, big BUT sometimes it happens . . It is slightly belated now, but to PW.

rumblefish Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 although the shooting season is still a long way off , i don't know of many keepers who would refuse some free labour around their shoots , there's always an endless list of backbreaking jobs to do . it's very much a case of scratch mine i'll scratch yours . don't expect results straight away, they're going to use the time to "get to know you " but it should pay dividends eventually . After three seasons beating on some local shoots, not only have i got myself some permiisions ,made some good friends but have tapped into a wealth of knowledge that comes from years spent in the countryside. maybe after ten seasons i'll be asked to make up the numbers on a driven day ( dream on !!)
