I would only do this now on new permissions gained in that year.
Would cost me a complete fortune otherwise

I stick to the ones that Let me shoot all their land and not the
ones who just want me to do them a service by shooting vermin
for them ! Costs me about £120 which i don't think is bad at all
considering the amount of time i spend on the land over a year .

I only have 2 small patches of ground :( and don't really shoot
the ground as there's never anything on it but I'd still get
them something just to say thanks
:) it's nice to be nice :)
PS GROUND NEEDED FOR ANY TYPE OF SHOOTING lol

every year land gets harder and harder to not only get but to
keep ,i always give and i let you know that it has kept me on
lands that are totally closed now ,many years ago one of my
farmers had 3 young boys and Walt Disney videos were all the age
and with not having much money it was all i could afford 2
videos ,well 25 years later them young boys control the farm and
i was just asked to get 2 of the guns i went with them to
maryland and both bought .22 rimfire brand new and a semiauto
each, the farm is getting closed for them to shoot or should i
say us to shoot and a suitable location for a pond being decided
2 permanent hides have been placed a flooded areas of fields
although it only 250 acres it enough for me ,over the years i ve
shot geese,duck,pheasant and plenty of pigeons in the summmer
That farmer has also got me on land were theres plenty of
shooting either pigeons and crows
My advice is even a bunch of flowers for his wife will go along
way in keeping your feet on their land

Couldn't agree more Duck Caller ! A wee bunch of flowers or a
bottle shows you appreciate them ... Thats all it takes .

I would always sort the farmers out with a bottle of
Whiskey/Scotch etc. The way I view it is if you approached a
farmer who owned 100 acres of land and asked him for permission,
and he said no problem but it'll cost you £50, would you pay it?
I reckon most people would given the difficulty of gaining
permission. Now imagine you got the permission for free. A
bottle of Whiskey seems cheap compared to what you maybe would
have paid to get the permission in the first place. I've had to
buy 7 bottles of drink this Christmas. Expensive for a one off
purchase at this time of the year, but definitely worth every
penny :)
