Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

So last year I lost one of my favorite hunting grounds... Or part of it I should say..... An ajoining landowner to a piece I hunt where I also had permission sold his property and the new land owner revoked my permission......


Just today after asking for permission for the third time since he bought the plot granted me permission again..... It is only 80 acres (actually a large chunk for my area)but it lays between a excellent bedding area and a good food source....

Persistance paid off.... (the italics is for MO [8D]) Season is looking up and it hasn't even started yet!

On a side note I went knocking on some doors today...... Stopped at 10 other places..... No one answered any of the doors.... I'm not that ugly am I?:D

LOL....mo can't spell so good nohow.....

Glad you were granted permission buddy. Your right, PERsistance does sometimes pay off, and of course, your award winning PERsonality...[&:]

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

You're pretty ugly :eek:[8D].

Congrats on the land. Persistence does pay off. I finally got permission this year to hunt a piece of land I've been after for 15 years.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Basically you look like a snappin turtle on steroids with a broom handle shoved up it's rear. Yea your ugly.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

You guys calling my momma a liar???? :D:D:D

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

ROTFLMfreakinAO!!!!!! I've never, ever, ever heard a more ACCURATE description!! :D

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

The first thing I'm gonna do when I get home is punch your momma in the mouth!

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Violence is not the answer...:eek:

(Just kidding.;))

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Probably not the "ugliness" that they didn't like... more of a stench that you give off. Kinda like John's tent smelled after the G2G.:D:D

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

DUDE! That was HIM???? I thought that was you??? Or maybe it was the snoring BEAR!!!

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

I slept in my truck killer....... LMAO :DSo it was either you or John..... HHHMMMMM.... Interesting ;)

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Yeah, but um, killer? You only slept in your truck because, well, for some reason the window you were sleeping under was left down, and it rained........Bears STINK when they get all wet....

edit; you remember, the whole, sleeping bag melted in the dryer incident??

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Dubbya was the snoring bear........ Losing memory already old man? :D;)

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

*sigh*


Yes.......U young whippersnappers zapped it all right outta me...

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Too funny guys but,

For those seeking permission Scott brings up a great points, several really. Professionalism and persistance. Great job Scott.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

i hear alot of you guy talking about asking for permisson i in four years have not got up the gut to ask any one. But in my defense i was in ky for the first two years and Nc in the mountains and where i was at in each state you do not go on ome ones land or even bother nocking on there door onless you have a fatish for lead poisoning lol . But here in good boy central (indiana southwest ) a gy that was giveing me a price to put on a roof on my house told me he had 40 acres i could hunt. Did not even have to ask i gusses he wonted the shop alot lol. Just make sure you keep the land owners happy

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Way to go buckeye. Is that where your slammers are gonna be hanging out?

I got permission to hunt a few more lots in our subdivision too, just by asking the neighbors. I only got turned down once.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

I sure hope so [8D]

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

I just try to keep things simple and to the point by asking where they want me to park since I'll be hunting here this year.;)

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

If done so, professionally and courteously (seeking said permission)......I think we could ALL hunt more grounds than we do.

I always hand-write landowners a letter after my initial meeting with them.....whether I'm turned down or granted permission. My two best spots are those in which I was denied permission, initially......but later had them contact ME after receiving my letter to rescind their ban.

I thank God for these opportunities. I don't know where I'd be (hunting-wise0 without them.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

There is definitely an art to getting permission to hunt someones land. You can't get discouraged WHEN you get denied a bunch of times. Looking for quality land and persistently pursuing private land to hunt WILL eventually payoff. After awhile you have gathered so many parcels to hunt that you start to pick and choose your prime land to hunt and your secondary lands to hunt. Some of the pieces of land you aquire over the years end up not being hunted (but still hang on to them, pay attention to them, thank the landowner etc.....). I've lost track of how many places I have to hunt now. I have them narrowed down to 3 different pieces of land that I REALLY focus on.


Or you could just do this lmao [8D]:D

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Where is the love!! [8D]:D

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

The whole world will know soon....They are the fattest I have ever seen.

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

Don't worry buddy, you are only ugly when I look at you. But somebody at the get together said you were pretty when they were drunk...I am not sure who it was, but I think you stayed with him.;)

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
 

even the real ugly guys look good with a big old whitetail laying dead in front of them.. :D

Scott, no in all honesty.. glad to hear you got access toan important piece of the puzzle! Good luck this weekend!

RE: Pardon me while I pat myself on the back.....
