Highlander Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 and the others on here....does this work (posting for permissions) or is it (as I suspect) a complete waste of time? Anyone had any success on here or just blanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 its worked for some on here. me, no i sent dozens upon dozens off. go see em in person, let them see you, the first one is the hardest. try to avoid the busy times for the farmers/land owners. you cant beat recommendations from other farmers /land owners. i shoot on farms now that knocked me back when i cold called(sorry lad already got someone).but if the man down the road says tell him farmer brown sent you 9 out of 10 your in. and that miserable get turns out to be a top man.

Highlander Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Sorry guys but I think I might not have made my question clear. I'm not looking for land to shoot over (although the more the better ) but was just curios if the letter writing thing works for anyone. Who's had any success with it? In my book there's only one way and that's to get out and meet and greet. Success usually outweighs the failures and even they, generally, aren't final.

lurcherboy Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Highlander, I got all my sites bar one by letter writing on a 6 monthly cycle. I suppose I eventually ground them done The best was secured by a chance meeting. His car was sick and I was the doctor. Allways send a SAE, even the most wont bother replying, and be polite.

Cranfield Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I should imagine nobody who has posted on this section looking for land, has been successful. A few have been given details of a Pigeon Club in their area and thats about as good as its got. Rather a waste of space really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul in North Lincs. Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I have tried the letter 'thing' in years gone by.......... and all attempts have failed. However, as LB rightly suggests, a 6 monthly targetted cycle @ the local farmers can only instill your name into their heads..... From a basic psychology point of view.. this can only be a good thing. Eeerrr......hope I'm not getting too 'deep' there!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeymagic Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I managed to secure a little shoot by posting on here. I seem to be the exception to the rule though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Good for you. The best bet is just knocking round, there again I am just preaching to the converted really. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
