Birdboy Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 About a month ago, i noticed some local farmers putting scarecrows and flags out in their fields so i knocked up a handful of printed letters that basically introduced myself as a local shooter, confirmed that i am insured with BASC, and that i have refences available. Also, i confirmed that i would assist them with their vermin control FREE of charge and that i did not want anything in return. When i was driving home from work , i saw a pick up truck in the middle of a field which is a favourite rook haunt. I placed one of my letters on farmers windscreen (in a waterproof A4 wallet). The next day, phone rang. Farmer said i was welcome to shoot that field which is 25 acres HOWEVER he went on to say he needed more help at his other 375 acres !!! JACKPOT !!! Well for the last month, weve bagged rabbits galore, and a fox. Cant believe it. I really think it helped when i confirmed the following Im local Im insured I can provide references (not requested) I dont want anything in return Its now got to the point where he rings me every few days to request me to shoot as priority on some particular land he has drilled etc. Hes even asked me to clear up a dozen Deer he has on the land, so i may be onto a .243 variation soon ! Hope this helps. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
