Default RE: Gaining hunting access to private land.

Getting permission in Waukesha county is pretty tough. You almost have to know someone with land. Or a friend connection with a land owner. A lot of times the old farmers in the area have horror stories about some guy they allowed to hunt 30 years ago and did something stupid to irritate them and ruined it for the rest of us. I have found that voluntering to help out around the house with yardwork and things of that nature as Bowhuntingfool suggested certainly helps. The only way you' ll know for sure is to ask. When granted permission, always make sure to repay the favor with a dinner gift cert or some nice gesture. Something so menial can really go a long way with a farmer who has allowed hunters before and never got anything more than thanks.....and sometimes...not even that. Good luck.
