I usually mention the fact I have doe tags to fill.A lot of farmers are catching on to the fact that most hunters are after a buck and are letting countless crop eating does pass by thier stands without actually trying to thin any of them out.Ive gained permission to hunt deer simply by offering to shoot does where other guys wont.They also get sick of the trophy hunting mentality that goes along with som much of the deer hunting today.

One farm the guy was notorious for not letting anyone hunt his property.The first year I asked I simply told him I was looking to shoot a doe for the freezer and wouldnt bother the bucks, he shotgun hunted himself and told me that would be ok as long as I left the bucks alone.The following year I again approached him and he started telling me about a big 8 pointer he had been watching.By the end of the conversation he had not only told me where the buck was running the property but wished me luck in killing him, This year he just told me to quit asking him every year and hunt whatever I wanted.

Another guys first request was that I please kill some does.I went out and bought 3 doe tags which I filled exclusively on his place throughout the year.The following year he told me I could hunt all his ground.47$ worth of doe tags was a pretty cheap lease to get access to a couple thousand acres of good hunting ground.
