best advice I can give is maybe get to know a few ppl, offer to hold the spotty on a few night shoots, then once people get to know/trust ya you should be good to go.
That’s just it mate. As I’ve said, ive taken blokes out Shooting who are trying to get into it, and I’ve been burnt before...... You try not to tar everyone with the same brush but I have a great rapport with owners of the places I go, and it’s one I don’t want to ruin.......
They have enough probs out there with bloody thieves and poachers as it is, so I usually need to meet someone in person before I’ll take them on a shoot, little line to someone else’s property.
Not being a prick; just how it is.
