Permission

[Tom270]

Luckily I met a great farmer yesterday while shooting on his neighbours small holding and came away with permission to shoot his bigger farm where reds are damaging his walls, and they have big kit to help with extraction and chilled storage. Its all hill land so back stops a plenty. What a result.
It's taken 12 years of paid stalking, free mentoring and loads of help from people on here to get me to this point. The best bit after travelling hundreds of miles this is less than half an hour from home. Got forms out this morning and off to get them signed.

Nice to hear the success stories as there's all too many people just trying to get a go and failing, or wanting to do a proper job properly for the land owner and getting a 'no' while knowing the people doing it on that land are just slaying anything they see regardless

Good effort

Well done and finding your new shooting spot.

I got some great Pigeon shooting near York in same way. The Round Table would offer Pigeon shooting donated by local Farmers. You would buy a ticket and be allocated a spot by grid number on an OS map. Sat somewhere with zero pigeons showing.

Saw a guy on a tractor in neighboring field. I strolled over and told him. He immediately offered to let us use his large arable farm. Pigeons aplenty. A small group of us controlled his pigeons and he was very happy. I was amazed the damage that Pigeons can do to a Pea crop in a few hours.

Farmer had a great attitude and was a game shooter himself. He would say 'if it eats or damages my crops, kill it'.

I've said before that smallholdings are the way to go. They are often overlooked by those wanting hundreds of acres to wander around and shoot on but they can be very productive, especially if neighbouring larger areas of suitable ground. Once you're shooting there it's always easier to get a word of mouth recommendation as you have a level of trust established.

Great result. So encouraging to see all of the diligence pay off. Good reminder for the rest of us to stick in there.

You don't actually expect the OP to reveal that on an open forum.
