Show up in a nice Pair of blue jeans, nice shirt and a clean coat. Don't show up looking like a rough rider with holes in your pants and such. Just ask and be honest. Tell them you bow hunt and have no plans to gun hunt, most people are OK with bows, but are scared of a stranger running around on there property with a gun. Also explain you plan on hunting alone and you have no intentions on dragging out your friends, that can sometimes help. Good luck and let us know what you find!
