I thought it was going to be....in fact I'm still embarassed to ask landowners. I have a rejection issue.
But, with that said I'm in good shape. I've got more land than I can hunt. In fact there is a farm I have permission to hunt that I never even set foot on last season. I just didn't have time.
2 successes out of 2 asks, and I now have a total of 3 private properties I can hunt. 2 I asked for permission and it was granted. In fact, it was more than granted....I have been welcomed with open arms. 3rd property is a friend of ours.....don't even have to ask on that one anymore. As long as he owns it we hunt it. If anybody else asks him he sends them to ask us. He's a great guy and asks NOTHING in return. Just that we keep the deer population down and preserve his property like we found it. Glad to do both.
