2 BIG Blacktail. Going about getting permission on private land.

[Kvw4x4]

So recently I have got pictures of 2 dandy bucks.  Any advice on going about getting permission.  I’ll be able to bow hunt and usually feel people more will willing to let you hunt their land that way.  But need to approach this the right way.  Thanks!!

Bring presents salmon usually works or oysters

Offer lots of good booze!

Offer to do labor like fix fences or clean up.  To me that goes a lot farther than a bribe.

Shows the landowner you are willing to earn their permission and also helps them out by knocking something needed done off their checklist.

If they allow you access to hunt, when done, regardless of success or not, then present them with a thank you gift of some type...

Good luck, either one of those boys would certainly be worth the extra effort...

Ya that’s the way I’m leaning.  The trick is   The owner isn’t local.  He has renters in the house.

I always wear a hat and remove it when introducing myself. I then apologize for the intrusion on their day or evening. Always look for common ground for a good conversation even if they say no at first I've turned it into a yes after 15 minutes of chit chat. Be clean and have good manners.

Is there a corner you can cross?...oops different thread

[fishnfur]

Whoa!  Studly bucks.  Awesome! 
Good luck!

I would pass on the first one after laying eye’s on the second one. Both awsome animals😳

Mashers, seeing your in Blaine and owner isn't local I'd check the tax/owner contact info or Onx maps. Make contact and explain how your going to hunt (Bow,From foot,ground blind tree stand etc) . If your lucky you'll get permission, if it's a dink from California that owns it you might have to settle for your pictures, any way you cut it good luck.

A “dink from California”.  Wow... 

[Kvw4x4]

A “dink from California”.  Wow...

Lol. Ya a little quick to judge everyone in that state I would say

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

A card in the mail with a letter of introduction to landowner, explain who you are and a copy of your "code of ethics" from the back of your hunter safety certificate.
Explain that you will leave no trace and respect any days they will allow you to hunt, or days not to...
Showing respect goes a long ways..
Or look up tax records and offer to pay yearly tax...
(That's how the "guide who shall not be named" gets access.)

an Offer to share some of the harvest isn't a bad idea either.
