Might I suggest you stick with a climber for the first year on the farms? Go ahead and prep some of the eye appealing locations and then trim up some escape route arias, edges of the beading aria, longest walk and so on. Like you mentioned earlier, there going to “get theirs” and you don’t want to be the one that’s being patterned, cutoff or sitting in your stand with the undeniable smell of Tide laundry detergent in the air.

The one thing that would put a bad taste in the other hunters “with permission” mouth would be to see “the new guys” stand in there honey hole. It wouldn’t be a good first impression. Like others have said it’s important to track down the handful that have the written permission and go from there. They will tell you they pretty much have the land covered and your SOL and that “everyone hunts the farms anyway” and your hopes will be up. Take it for what it’s worth. Asking the farmer if he would like his land posted is not a bad idea. He might appreciate it. Most farmers don’t have time to mess around with posting their property. Sings aren’t that much $ and it’s worth it to you to buy them if he approves of your efforts.

Also be careful about the copies you leave of your permission slip. You don’t want a bunch of pumpkins walking around with edited copies of written permission in their greasy pants![:@]
