Cranfield Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 A point I make when trying for permission, is the "security" angle. While out shooting, or on reconaissance, I am a pair of eyes keeping a look out for the Farmers property. Over the years I have prevented a lot of fly tipping, poaching, stealing and general nuisance. Nowadays, Farmers see this as a major advantage.
