Hunting Properties PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

[Rick111]

Hi there fella's, ever since I was a young buck, I've been trying to find somewhere to do some hunting, preferably PIGS. I'm not made of money and anywhere that does allow shooting charges a fortune. I think I would be doing a service to any property owner out there that may have a problem with feral control. Surely me spending my money getting to the property & then spending more money on ammunition would be enough.
I am a responsible person, I don't drink, I will leave the place as I found it, gates shut, no rubbish left, etc, etc. I am very handy with a welder & quite good on the tools, so I am also willing to give a bit of a hand in return for the oppertunity to camp & hunt on your property.
PS I am also a member of the SSAA which also has liability insurance should anything happen.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Give me a call on 0411 528 530 (Rick)

Mate the best way to get on to a property
is to visit the place no guns dressed neat
ask your question and posible exchange
for camping hunting if they say no leave
in a good manner and try the next one

As above mate... I have lots of properties and I got them through being polite and in neat gear not hunting clothing..

In return I have helped on the farm as much as I can

Some years back I asked an old farmer permission to shoot rabbits on his property. He said no, so I thanked him and walked away, as I did he called me back and said ok, yes, but just be mindful of the cattle. I think he was testing me maybe. In return, whenever i was shooting out there all he wanted was tinned dog food for his dog.

Thanks fellas for all your comments, well I already was doing the neat dress, no guns & polite thing, but that was getting me nowhere, there are a few idiots out there that spoil it for everyone. Lots of farmers were very abrupt about saying no without even letting me finish, and after some of the stories I have heard they are quite justified in being that way. After 3 weeks of being on the phone and ringing nearly 150 properties & e-mailing around 50, I now have 6 properties to hunt pigs, dingos, feral cats & what ever else the farmer may want to get rid of. One farmer around Cecil Plains in QLD couldn't help me more if I asked, he was so nice about everything & even put me on to his Fathers property in Inglewood QLD who then put me on to his other sons property just down the road, the Father even offered the use of a Quad bike to get around his place as it is quite big. I think I've died & gone to heaven, the camping is great, there is a large dam on one of the properties that has red claw & yellow belly as well.
All they ask in return is to have fun, can you believe it, well it's true. I did take a carton of 4XXXX which was much appreciated & I have offered my services when ever they ask as long as they give me some time to organise things, the best thing is these properties are only within 3 hours drive from Ipswich.
Good luck fellas.
