txjourneyman you are exactly right it is all about the money. I know for a fact that if i offered some of the people that have turned me down a couple hundred dollars to hunt for the season that they would almost certainley let me hunt, but being in college i am on a pretty tight budget. Something you might try if you have not already is preparing a contract that you and the landowner both sign agreeing on the terms of your hunt.This has helped me aquire some properties.Its seems to makepeople feel a little more at ease seeingyour word in writing.
