heres a good question for everyone what do you think is the best way to go about getting permission to hunt on other ppls land?

thanx for the advice and good luck hunting

Well, not to sound like I' m trying to be smart or anything, but you could try asking them.

Well,

he' s right, ask them...but never the day you want to hunt and seldom just before the season....the best way is to show up months in advance, look professional, dress appropriately to show your professionalism and be polite. Offer to do chores, help out on the property, share in the bounty of your harvest, explain your intentions of deer management and much more....

Showing up in camo, greasy cloths or pushing yourself on the owners right at season openers will most likely get you big no' s...

Here' s a few you could try....

Drag along your Grandpa' s Grandpa. Lay it on about how hard it is to find people who can appreciate hunting as bonding time with your elders. Mention quietly that he doesn' t get around as well as he used to and that you' ll be admiring the beauty of their place more than hunting. When he' s not there with you opening morning you could say he' s passed on and you' re only hunting to remember his spirit as he had been real excited about getting the chance to hunt there.

Grab the neighbors kid .. the younger the better. Pull the same act as above just alter the content for junior. Who can say no to a cute little child??? Bribe the kid with candy to cry if they say no .... and explain to them how cruel some people can be .. in front of the farmers wife preferably.

Walk up to the front door with all your aunts camera gear on you and tell them you are a " Nature Photographer" and would love to snap some pictures of their wildlife. After getting to know their property a bit mention the " horrible over population problem" they seem to have and how it isn' t good for the deer or the land .. then offer to help out... or you may have to report them to the state for cruelty to animals.

If all other means have failed of course!

Unless I knew them very well, I wouldn' t ask anyone to hunt on their land. Thats just me. I' d rather pay a little cash and get my own lease or join a deer camp. People harrassing me about hunting is exactly why I think owning my own land is wouldn' t be all that great.
