Got a "Yes" from the first farm i went to
here's how it happened.....
i was driving around wednesday night all but lost, just looking for places that looked good to hunt. i found a place that looked pretty darn good so i found my way to the house that i figured it belonged to. the guy there said they actually just rented it, but he gave me directions to the landowners house. i drove there and found nobody home. i had typed up some letters with my name, address, intentions and contact info in them and left one between his doors with a letter on the envelope explaining how i had ended up there.
i didnt hear from him yesterday so i drove out there tonight and he was home. i explained that i was the person who left the letter in his door. we talked for a minute and he said he didnt mind if i hunted it. turns out that it's about 5 acres of woods with fields all the way around, an apple orchard across the street and creek at the back.
i'll get in there next week to see what i can find, hopefully it's good. whew, this was long but i'm excited!
thanks to everyone who posted tips on how to get places to hunt!

RE: Got a "Yes" from the first farm i went to
Thats great news! Congrats!
I've had some exceptional luck as well these past couple of days. We own 20 acres that we built a cabin on this spring. I went around to the neighbors Weds and Thurs....I have 4 yeses totaling over 200 acres...I did gettwo no's; one because his family comes to hunt it (I did get my foot in the door w/ groundhog hunting though)..another because they don't let anyone hunt there...I did get permission to hike/scout/track there if I want/need to. I'm pumped.
Good luck with your new acquisition!
