Its a wonder that the hospitals, morgues and coroners can handle all those bodies pouring in, given the number of folks who claim to shoot tresspassers on sight
Very good idea to actually track landowner down and get permission. But also keep in mind that if it was easy for you to find, then it is probably already being hunted. So, you need to get permission and check things out so that you dont end up hanging your stand 50 feet from somebody who has been hunting it for 30 years.
