So it has finally happened, the land owner who has let me hunt his land all my life has finally divided it up and roads and houses are already being built...

I have gone around and asked about 20 landowners for permission to hunt. Most of them said they already have a bunch of guys that hunt the property and a few flat out said no. I told them I have all the appropriate licenses and have even offered to do yard work/barter in exchange for land rights.

Im guessing the simple answer would be to ask 20 more but in my area land is so scarce that I feel I will have the same luck.

Does anybody have any tips or advice that might make my search more productive. Thanks!
