I had the same dilemma this year. I had just moved into a new house last year and an older lady lives across the street on our dead end street. She owns the 85 acres behind her house 25acres pasture and the rest hardwoods and scrub. She was very friendly, but I asked around before I asked her and found out noone hunted the property. I eventually got up the nerve to ask her and she told me she didn't like when an animal was killed, but knew that overpopulation was also bad. She told me as long as I didn't take anybody else I could go. I said that's fine with me.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>85 acres all my own. wow!! I took a nice buck off the property this year and gave her pick of the steaks/burger/sausage. You've gotta try to ask permission or you'll never know!! BTW I was not the only person using the acreage. I found a permanent wood stand with fresh cigarette butts under it. I hate packing out someone else's trash!!
