Probably a good idea to post up on the Introductions & Welcomes section first as it's normal etiquette. Also, this is primarily a Bushcraft Forum and, although there is a sub-section under Lovely Grub for shooting game, there are several East Yorkshire based forums on FB that could probably better point you in the right direction.

Have you tried knocking on doors? It's how most people get their permissions; drive around and stop off at a farm and offer your services. Take your BASC membership card and insurance docs with you and don't take the rejections hard; I heard of one lad who got gobby when he was turned down and the farmer simply rang all the other local farmers and warned them off.

Good luck.

Turn up smart and not in camo and definitely no gun.offer to share the spoils and do some odd jobs around the place.if they say no just ask if they know anyone else.have some cards printed.

Be prepared to barter. I got permission to hunt birds only, Canada geese and ducks. Those birds make an awful mess of stock water ponds not to mention the crop damage. So that was OK, I'm the scarecrow with a 12ga. In that day and time, they were trying to train a couple of ??? falcons to hunt the local pigeon problem. As we are required to use non-toxic shot for migratory waterfowl (I'm shooting BBB and #2 steel), I breasted the birds for them and for myself and gave them the remains of the birds for the falcons in the winter.

So the farmer switched from peas to oats. The greese and ducks all went away. In August, stand at the field edge for a while = nothing but black bears, lying down and grazing. Not my game.
