Deer Hunting Private Land and Asking Permission 

Thanks Jacob. I appreciate the comments.

Haha. Thanks Justin. One can only hope! I appreciate your comment.

Hi Kaleb! Hey I appreciate the comments and that you took the time to write. The video has been pretty popular and it seem to of helped a lot of people so makes me feel good. If you ever have any questions you can always give me a call. Or you can post them here and I will answer them. I don’t know if you found my podcast but if you like the videos you might like the audio version of The American Land Man podcast. It’s on Spotify and Apple. I post a new episode every Friday. I really appreciate that you follow my videos. And good luck being allowed specialist. If I can help you out you can just give me a call anytime.

Just be yourself. Come prepared and if you get a foot in the door ask questions about the farm. How long have you had it? It this a family farm that grandpa (for example) homesteaded. How many ac of tillable, how has yeild been, do you hunt? All these are ice breakers so take your time. I find some of these elderly folks may be suspicious at first but really, they will enjoy a sincere conversation. Finally, offer to work off the hunting. Mending fences, cleaning stalls maybe even driving a planter or a combine. Free labor is always welcome. Heck paint a fence or their house if you have to! Good Luck.

I hope you find some value Sharon.

Get out there and develop relationships and ask for permission. Come prepared Cody.

I agree. I’m not there yet but I’m considering getting a crop I can grow. Christmas trees or Lavender. Free help in exchange for hunting is definitely a way to gain access.

Letters are great. But don’t discount on the door! I have your letter prepared and with you when you go knocking. I said in this video we’re going to make an impression about you in the first 10 seconds or so, so be on your best behavior. I’m going to look like a nice guy, act like a friendly guy speak well. Be polite. Be honest. Good luck Capt Joe!

Hi Ramon? I would start with the local sport shop or gun club. I know in my area there are plenty of folks who will assist a disabled hunter and especially kids and donate a hunt. As far as an on going thing I think that you just need to get out and ask and eventually, you will find someone to let you hunt for free, or maybe a small fee. Maybe start with just asking for a weekend you might hunt. Eventually, maybe that turns into something more permanent. But for a quality experience, check into a local National Deere Association chapter, veteran organizations if you are a vet or a local club. I almost guarantee they will know someone willing to help. Offer to just hunt does, people always need does removed from a property. And if they are a little protective over their bucks that maybe an opportunity. Just be respectful of their wishes. I personally donate a hunt on my farm to a veteran organization so I know it is possible.

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.

Awesome. Well if you can afford a lease might be the best way to go. If you are looking close to a well populated area getting in can be tough. Might have to travel an hour to get to a less populated area.

I suppose. But now there are so many apps and public services that are out there. Trust me, people have already looked it!

You might not give permission but would it not make you a little more comfortable if the person in front of you gave you all of there information if they had yours?

Haha. Only 9 more No's to go!! lol
