Mine was by chance. The land owner was in the local fly shop when I was there, and was asking some question about what flies to use. The guys working in the shop were busy, so I helped him out. We hit it off, and ended up going fishing together. I never knew he owned land, because we always met at the fly shop to go fishing.

One day on the stream he asked me if I hunted. Of course I said yes, and that was the end of it. When hunting season came around he said to come over to his place, because he had something for me. I got there and he handed me a voucher. Those are much better, because they last for 5 months. Compared to just getting a regular licence for the unit and asking if you can hunt someones property. They only last the length of the season (9 days), and you have to go through the draw. There's no draw with a voucher. You just go to the DOW, and hand them the voucher, and they hand you a licence. It's an animal management licence, so that's why they give you 5 months instead of 9 days. They give you every chance possible to get the animal. Some land owners sell the vouchers for a lot of money.
