I live in ohio ,I drive around and talk to people that I see in the areas that I want to hunt. I look at the land ownership maps at the court house and nock on door of owners that live away from the land , I have even called to other states to ask for permission. I hang out at farmers watering holes and buy a few drinks. If where you want to hunt has a deer problem talk to the gamewarden ,place a ad in the local paper "I help with problem deer" and give a local number ,I got lots of good and bad calls. Just do it early , nothing will piss the land owners off more than a hunter asking the week before season , during supper time or when they are trying to get crops in before rain. Remember all they can say is no and if they say no ,it is no.Walk away and say sorry to bother you . I have almost left and they said ok.
