I told everyone about this last year but for those that missed it here it is. Not many people are aware of this, which is very surprising. In the state of Ohio there is a program called the Cooperative Hunting Program. The program is for landowners who for whatever reason would like hunters to hunt there property. To get a list of these landowners you have to contact your local DNR office and request that they mail out a list for whatever counties you are interested in hunting. Last year i got 2 farms here in SW Ohio. One was 42 acres and the other was 55 acres, both were very nice spots but today i landed the mother load spot. 385 acres close to my house. There will be allot of people on this list who no longer participate due to some idiot hunter who trashed there land or something. But just keep calling and eventually you will find some really amazing, nice people who will allow you to hunt. It's crazy when i ask these people when the last time was that a hunter contacted them, usually the response is 2-3 years ago i had a guy call me but he only hunted a couple times that year and i never heard from him again. It boggles my mind that people don't know about this. Also it always helps to offer some help around there farms or to offer venison. Anyway if you live in another state than Ohio you may want to check with your DNR office to see if they offer something similar to this. GOOD LUCK!
