Well, have you tried knocking on any doors yet. I would try that before I go looking to offer money for the land. I know you will have to do a lot of knocking on farmers doors, but you just may get permission for free. I plan on doing that over the summer and I will let them know that I am going to strictly bowhunt. Another thing you can do is to offer to help them with small chores around the place. Just be as personable as possible. I am assuming that you are fairly young and sometimes that plays against you, because I think it has played against me. Some people just don't think young men can be real responsible. Anyways, good luck and I hope you find somewhere to hunt for this upcoming season.
