Great info! Maybe you cover this is some of the other videos I haven't seen yet, but I'd like to hear how you find areas to even start to ask for whitetail? I've watched Randy's e-scouting video series, but I don't think these really apply for midwest whitetail country. Do you just drive around for many days/hours and look for deer in fields in the morning/evening? Do you look in areas surround public land where animals might be scared to with hunting pressure?
Hey Dave, our video titled "HOW TO FIND DEER" is a good place to start in regard to finding places to ask for permission. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-om8PuY8K_1s.html Most of our other deer videos right now are geared towards whitetail so you may find some other useful information in those videos if you have not seen them already. Thanks for the question, and we would be more than happy to dive deeper into finding/hunting private lands in our future videos.
Mike, in our personal experience, we've had to resort to knocking on doors and asking neighbors for the actual address of the landowner. Hope that helps!
99.9% of the time the land owner will say no. And even if you do get lucky and the land owner says yes...be sure to get something in writing from him/her which clearly states when permission has been granted and for how long. This is very important
