Permission
I always put references on any letters I send out.
They are likely to know their neighbours and this can put their minds at rest. If they want to check up on you, they can; it shows you have nothing to hide.
Top tips to get permission:
- Send letter with references.
- Call by telephone after a few days.
- Printout a google earth map of the surrounding area (More likely to show fences and
- Have a good draft permission slip ready.
- Offer to visit to discuss any vermin problems they may have on their land and what you can do to help.
- Discuss access, times, hazards and offer part of your future bag to the landowner.
- Show them you have a real passion for your sport and not just "some bloke who wants to do some shooting on their farm".
- Show them your shooting insurance documents.
- Get the landowner to show you their boundries on a map and mark them on your google map.
- I normally do a bit of "Paintshop Pro" on the map and insert it into a Word document to form a professional looking permission slip.
- Post said professional permission slip to the land owner and invite them to suggest any changes.
- Revisit to collect signed permission slip.
- Reap the rewards of your labour.
It sounds a bit long winded, but each step sets their minds at rest and builds trust over a short time.
Be prepared for the ocassional "anti". Each to his own I say.
