It's been awhile since I've been on here, and deer season sure is coming up quick. I'm going to be busy all October (Texas Archery Season) with school stuff, so I'm trying to find a place close by that I can hunt when school is a problem.
I need advice on trying to get permission from people. There's a lot of little farms and ranches out here just down the road from where I live. This evening, I went out with some letters and put them in mailboxes, telling them who I am and all that with my number, offering to help them work on the land if I can hunt there. I don't have much of any money (being 16, working in a grocery store, and having to pay for gas doesn't leave much free money). Do you think my letters will work? What should I do?

I'm 17...so I'm close to your age...the best advise I can offer you is go knock on their doors. Talk to them in person. You will be surprised how many people will be more than willing to let you hunt...especially when you are a younger person who is considerate enough to ask. Thats like double to points working in your favor. I went door to door this summer and expanded the area I could hunt in one location from the 20 acres we own..to 400+ acres just by asking neighbors!

Talk to the landowners in person...thats the best way.
