Approach the land owner with your bulging wallet in your hand.

Approach the land owner with your bulging wallet in your hand. ....OR a blank check and say "Here, fill it out." |

Personaly I think ya need to build up a friendship with the person your going to ask. Am actauly letting a neibhor hunt the south end of our place this year. But I also knew his dad before he passed away. I always would let him hunt. But in trade he would keep my drive clear and an eye out for tresspassers. When his son called me earler this year. I had no problems letting him hunt. But like I said I know the kid. Several others have called me at home and my response is always the same. Meet me out there a few times and help put in some of the work to maintain the property and I wouldn't have a problem. But simply walking up to my door or calling and saying "can I hunt your land? umm no I dont have time to help trim around the drive or take care of food plots but would you mind if I use your stand?" is always going to be a no.

I can't blame you there and if I had land of my own, then I would be the same way. But you have to look at it from the hunters perspective that is knocking on your door. It is a numbers game when it comes to gaining permission and more than likely they don't know if the land is being hunted yet or not. I have knocked on doors before and the most common thing I hear is that someone else is hunting it already, or the owner him/herself is hunting it. If the person knocking on your door is being courteous then you can't be mad at them for trying. On the other hand, if they are being pushy or rude, then by all means, let them have it! |

Will be checking for more property when I get down there this year. We have 3 deer spots and a dozen rabbit hunting spots. My favorite deer spot belonged to my deceased uncle who's daughter always let me hunt, 10 acres of thicket that's hard to walk through, she called and said she is auctioning it off after deer season!! I offered to buy just the thicket but she don't want to screw around with getting me the rite away agreement, I don't want the house and 20 acres of field.

Next spring, try getting permission to hunt for mushrooms. If you get into a big mess, make sure the landowner gets a healthy cut of the action. Makes a definite impression.

Hows the trapping looking down there? My son has picked up a few coon and skunks behind the house as well as a fox and 2 yotes, all looked good. |

My main problem is the people that keep calling asking to hunt. one they know that I hunt but they want to lease my hunting rights so that I can't go on my property. (NOT GOING TO HAPPEN) two the ones calling me are family members of a farmer that we used to have farm 10 acres for us. we threw him off when he billed us for 30 tons of lime on 10 acres (yea right) so their response is to just go on our place anytime we are not there. All of us have had to resort to using climbing stands as I have had 2 ladder stands and a blind stolen just since bow opened this year.
So as a land owner I understand people getting real picky about who they allow on their place. Because anytime I have ever called DNR or local law nothing was ever done. So now my response is if you ain't family get off my land.
