Browning GTS Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yippee. I have just got another 260 acre permission today One of my farmers phoned up this week to say my FEO had just called re my FAC application and it was all hunky-Dorry, and one of his mates was getting hit by the corvids, would i like to go over? Um yes. So off i go this morning after a cup of tea he gave me a ride around the boundaries and then printed out a map of the farm. When i was talking to him i asked him does anyone else shoot here? He said no but i did have a bloke who used to come. The trouble was he asked if he could bring a mate but a mate turned into 4 or 5 ! And they used to turn up with out him ( the permission holder ), and just walk past him in the yard with out even a hello, and they also used to leave spent carts around the place, and other litter. So some advice to any of you who do get a permission, LOOK AFTER IT not easy come, but easy go!! Anyway i went down to the barley field being hit and had a couple of crows and jackdaws, and noticed it was alive with pigeons so going again in a few days.

Cranfield Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Well done, there is no surer way of getting shooting permission, than by having the recommendation of another farmer. It always amazes me how some shooters take their permissions for granted and then wonder why they lose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning GTS Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yes cheers cranfield It is about 11 miles away down a deadend road in a small village a place i would not even dream about looking if i was driving around after shooting, so i dont think he gets alot of knocks on the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffs-Shooter Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Your lucky if the farmer phones. I've got one who call, the others rely on me riding around & checking for damage. That said its all part of having (& keeping) the permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
