Does anyone have a "mock" letter written from there years of experience, that you could send to potential land owner wishing to gain hunting permission?
Then follow it up 1-2 weeks later in person on that Sunday afternoon ride.
Or this letter could be used for far away properties?

Some people like GMMAT

, may be better at writing a letter than others and this info could be very valuable to some frustrated hunters.[:@]

Sending a letter sends a message that you are too busy to stop by. If I got one of those, it would go in the shredder immediately.

Cold calls to the home and hit the local cafes are the best.
I tend to hang up on people that I don't know when they call me.
I would rather have someone send me a letter, to prepare me for the arrival a few weeks later, as I really hate people that just pop in.
So AF HUNTER - If I had to choose, I'm with you on stopping bye as possibly the best solution!

I have gotten permission by walking up to the door and speaking to the male by being polite. I have noticed here that in 90% of cases if I spoke to the woman, I would be turned down.
* Just keep in mind, you may offend the lady of the house by specifically asking for her husband, you know that whole male-chauvenist thing, as I've had woman take offense to this?
