Well i hunt in a extremely urban area. 5 acres is a large lot around me. So yes i have been asked to shoot before. Granted bowhunting is the only method where i primarily hunt. But because of the small tract sizes i have had a few landowners ask to see me shoot just to verify that i could do what i say i could. I have had to do a lot of weird things in order to hunt. Its not a bad idea if your concerned about it, might put some of your thoughts to rest. At the end of the day you want to make sure your comfortable with your choice, and as a hunter who has asked countless amounts of people for permission in my life I think of it as my job to make sure you have faith in me, and its on me to prove to you that i can hunt ethically and successfully. Hunting is a priveledge and im sure they wont have a problem doing it if they can receive permission.
