JDsniper Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Hi every one I am trying to gain some permission around the Redditch Area for Shotguns and air rifle. I have got full insurance. I am not being lazy or expecting it just too fall in my lap but could anybody give me any information or tip me off of any land i may be able to get on for just one day a week will travel up to 30 to 40 mile. I have been door knocking on the telephone and sent out over fifty begging letters printed over 100 calling cards i have done the lot and i will keep on trying. My job has stopped me catching the farmers at the right time. I just want to get out and do a bit. So once again if any body can point me in the right direction i would be very great full I am just after a couple of decent sized permissions around 30 to 40 mile around the Redditch area. Many thanks Edited September 28, 2008 by JayDJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I live your way and must of tried everywhere i can think of and I am still looking. I have even had to do some work for a few farmers for my job but they say the same thing. They either have someone already or shoot the land themselves, they have taken my cards but I haven't heard from them. Within 15 minutes drive from me there are about 12 golf courses I know its best to speak to them face to face but they are members only sorts of places so I wrote to them all. In total all the letters I wrote I have had 0 replies. I am trying to speak to farmers face to face, I don't like to knock the door but if I see one I will ask, its just being there at the right time. Maybe we are just to near the city and have to travel further but I don't want to get somewhere so far away and not be able to get back often. I am just going to keep trying, maybe we could try a few places together we might have better luck. If I manage to find anywhere I will give you a pm.

malkiserow Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 The farmers will be drilling soon ....... Timing is all important. When they have a flock on their new drill, strike .... might mean taking a day off work to drive around ... look smart (not ready for shooting!) have your licence and insurance on you to show them.. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
