Swap: sarcasm

Mistymoo, I do not think it is sarcasm. The trouble is land is becoming at a premium for stalking and is hard to come by and keep. Your post asking if any land was going was bound to raise such reactions.

You will find in general that if a more subtle approach had been made by your good self after being a member on here for a few months, you may well have had an invite. You will find that MANY on here have become good friends and have eventually landed in a syndicate or been invited out for free. You only have to look back through some of the million plus posts to see that.

I wish you well in your search, but my advice would be to go about it in a more indirect route, and form associations and friendships first. Even after 40 years of stalking I have never found land easy to come by, so you are not alone.

Good luck
 
Ok look at it this way , you just join a forum & first post is any ground going?

If you'd read the joining instructions your first post is mean to be an introduction say hello n a wee bit bout you.

If you had done that , explained your circumstances and that you,don't have much ground of your own etc then maybe over short time folk would invite you etc.

But because of reasons above , ground at premium , folk trying to take ground under your feet so to speak etc.
People are reluctant until they get to know you ..... Under stand the sarcasm now?

i undrestand but im a novice to the stalking directory i was asking for help i have tryed every where to find one to join i have been stalking for 10 years i was in a sindicate but left because the person who was running it lost it due to doing something stupid i have been on payed stalks and where i live there is none at all
 
Hi Misstymoo just my 6 pennies worth but I gained my stalking permission only after I had 'served my time' dealing with the rats, rabbits and corvids and the land owner had come to know and trust me and only then after the incumbent stalkers had had to 'retire' for whatever reason. I originally found the pest control permission through another beater on my local shoot in my second season beating. Not an 'instant fix' but I suspect fairly typical of a lot of folk on here. Good luck.
 
Here's my 2 cents.
Gaining deer stalking permissions is $hit.
A lot of people in deer stalking will $hit on you to get your stalking.
You can gain stalking permissions if you are prepared to do $hit unpaid work for many years in the vague hope you might get to shoot a deer.
One of the things about being human is that we want most the things we cannot have or get, so life is a $hit.
Stop ragging this bloke just because he is trying to get on.

my so called pal rolled out the £50's and his London fat cats and took mine from under me ???? even though it was I who got him his cert on the land and it was I that mentor'd him for feck all from the start on my small bit ,he still felt it was ok to give the farmer more than I could afford ?? I was on there for ten years i don't blame the farmer just the cock who waved the cash at him ? .
Good luck I hope you find some out there but I the mean time pay days will find you some very good chaps to have a crack with on this site. Teyhan 1 would be a good start for no bolx stalking and good info for free.

There's lots of land to be had if you can afford to buy it...
3-4 million quid will get you a nice little "lifestyle" country estate.

It's getting permission to shoot on other people's land that's tricky.
