RE: asking permission to hunt
A great time of the year is during hay season. Offer to help the farmer put up his hay. Another great way to get permission is to help him fix, or run new fence. The more you help, the more you will be welcome. I am a land owner. If you are not willing to help with some of the work that needs to be done, then do not ask. Hunting on some one's property is a privilege, not a right. Tom.
