Also, just ask, don’t be afraid to get told no. We have issues with poachers yet I have zero problem allowing access if people have asked, follow protocols etc and especially if those people are willing to show their gratitude. I have one guy who hunts here a bit and he just came door knocking one day, he makes a point of going and getting a couple Crays or some oysters or a few blue cod to drop off each time he comes out, he follows protocol and doesn’t take the piss out of the priviledge. I have another guy who’s not even much of an outdoorsman but he’s been working on developing a relationship with his kids who have shown a keen interest in the outdoors and he always offers to do little bits and bobs, he came and cleaned all the chimneys of the farm houses for us the other day before going for a wander as an example
