RE: How should I ask someone if I can hunt on their property?
yup... definitely ask in person. be very polite and courteous. you need thick skin for going door to door. you'll more often get a no than a yes, at least in my experience. 99% of people are incredibly easy to talk to, and most of the time i end up chatting with the landowner/farmer for a few minutes. even if they do say no, they'll have a positive view of hunters after that if you're polite and courteous. thank them for taking their time even if they do say no. when they do say yes, it definitely pays off big. most of my best hunting spots are those that i've had to ask permission to hunt. its worth it.
