Default RE: Looking for Private Land in Ohio

I live close to Toledo , but hunt all over Ohio .
IMO best way to get permission is to start knocking on doors .
Yes you will get turned down , but all they can do is say no .

Last month I knocked on 80 - 100 doors in 2 days , but got writen permission for over 1200 acers in SE ohio from 1 land owner and a bunch of smaller plots , I got 6 Yes's out of the 80-100 , with 25% no one home .
A lot of the owners say few people ask .
I got a copy of the tax plot to find owners not living on or near the land I wanted to hunt .
I called Flordia and NYC to ask .
I then sent a permission slip to NYC with a addressed , stamped envolope .

Good luck
