Default RE: Getting permission to hunt

Plumbob When you get your feet wet on the first trip the rest will be a snap. Many landowners will allow hunting if you ask permission, even on posted land. I make out a 3 x 5 card with my name, address, phone number, type of vehicle and license number. I also take a second card for the landowner to sign that verifies you have permission from him to hunt his property. Stop by later in the day before dinner. Introduce yourself and ask if they will allow hunting on their property. Be sure to state what season you want to hunt. Many landowners will allow archery hunting but not firearms because of cattle or horses. Be specific. When you get premission, ask where you may park that's out of the way and that you will be on his property very early and may be there until after dark. Some things not to do are: don't show up after work with dirty clothing and a tee shirt with nasty pictures or slogans. Don't stop a farmer in the field unless you know him well. Many farmers tasks are based on the weather and sometimes that doesn't cooperate and they may not be in a good frame of mind. Just be yourself and I'll bet you get your hunting priviledge...
Good Hunting...
