superpoll0 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've had a day of contacting lots around my area (Brighton based) and nothing!!!! Looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel, somewhere........maybe. Out of curiosity, what approach did you use to gain the permission?? I tried popping round to a few and calling others. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlock Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I got my first permission Wednesday 1600+ acres of mixed farmland around the Dover, Kent area. This was the only farmer i went to and got a yes straight away, i found him by speaking to my local gunshop that deals with game hunting supplies and has nothing to do with clays, he gave me some names and addresses and said which ones are the best to go to. Insider knowledge goes along way. Also during weekdays he has a permanent guy shooting for him full time but as you can imagine on 1600+ acres i never see him about and nobody else is around either, everyone comes at the weekend but even then he has given permission but very few ever turn up because they got greedy and signed with other farmers too.
