Hunting permission from a company?

[ayr_aca_cs]

I am in NW Ohio, looking for some advice or if anyone has had any luck getting permission from a company to hunt on their land. I am trying to get permission to hunt a section of woods, but the whole woods is owned by a company. I am thinking that they will say no for liability reasons and the fear of being sued if something happens. Are they ways to assure the company that certain legal action will not be taken? Is there some type of insurance that could be purchased by me to cover them some how? How about legal documents signed before hand? These are just random thoughts, hoping someone has had some luck and could share their insight as to what worked. Thanks, Happy Holiday's, and remember he is the reason for the season!

I suppose its worth a shot to try the waiver route but from my experience if a company owns huntable land and they allow hunting at all they save it for there employees and there friends and family, basically a its who ya know kinda thing. Never hurts to try though, it could pay off. The hardest part is probably getting in touch with the right person who actually has the say, you could always try the waiver and make it known for there piece of mind that you will keep an eye on the place for them

I used to hunt a trap a lot of land owned by Winnebago Industries. They, like most companies, they have liability insurance out the ying yang so I doubt if that is going to be an issue. It never was even brought up for me.

The hardest part of the endeavor is getting to the right person and then getting the permission in the first place. If you know the right person who can push the right buttons it should be easy.

generally around me, companies only usually allow employees to hunt their land, however, there is concrete/sand pit company that sometimes allows people to fish in their sandpits after you sign a contract that has already been made up specifically for it... check from the company to see if they have anything of that sort

The hardest part of the endeavor is getting to the right person.

This is the first thing I thought of. If its a good sized company your probably going to want to look for the building and grounds director type of person. If they lack that, they are probably going to direct you to Human Resources.

Good luck.
