Acquiring Permission in Quality Areas

Great Post!

Not much I can add to it, beside always remember to respect the landowners wish's, while on his or her ground. Go out of your way to help them once in awhile. A smoked ham at Christmas time or Thanksgiving goes a long ways as well, and helps them remember that you truely appriciate them for giving you a chance and a place to hunt.
 
Not to hijack Chris's thread here but one thing I would like to add is that when you do get permission to hunt a piece of ground don't act like you own it and be respectful to other hunters that also have permission.I have seen guy's lose good farms because they would start conflicts with the other guys that also have permission.Again great post
 
BINGO! You hit the nail on the head with this post! The bottom line is that if you aren't lazy and are willing to put in some time you can be successful in rounding up property to hunt. :way:

Good thread.

Once you get permission, I think building a relationship is huge. Also send them something after season and say thank you often.

We have permission on a great spot in Nebraska (11 years now) and the landowners have 4 boys, youngest is now a senior in high school. We always send a big ham just before Christmas, one less meal that mama has to prepare around the holidays. One year we gave the boys an old compound bow and some arrows, could have sold it for $150 but it's worth way more to a 10 and 12 year old.

The other thing we do and I know a lot of landowners appreciate this, ask for permission again each year. Don't assume you have permission forever. Even after 10 years we still ask if we can come back hunt the next year.
