And I definitely appreciate all advise. I really want to just catch a few to get in good graces with landowners and hopefully get a few spots to deer hunt.
Around hear landowners are not crazy about the doggers. Deer hunters with dogs have soured them. Not all but some have rutted up roads and fields. The night hunters with silencers and thermal scopes is 100percent legal but many of the older guys (land owners) see this as an opportunity to poach deer. No thankey they say. I know a lot of guys that do both and they are all stand up young gentlemen. They just suffer for the actions of a few idiots and some uninformed.

My plan is in action and a few contacts have cracked the door open for me. Myself and maybe one other at a time. Low impact on the property leaving the place better than we found it. Respect the landowners and the land/property.

And most importantly. Don’t act like you are doing them this big favor. They are not stupid. They know how much money they can lease their land for and have not for years. Be honest. “You have hogs. I want to kill hogs. I am willing to follow any standards you set”. This is what I did and now I have an opportunity to hunt 100 acres by trap or bow. If I can show him I will respect him and his, maybe it will develop more. Maybe not. We shall see.
