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

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.)

Perhaps you can tell them that their garden or flowers will be safer.

If he tells you "No," or if he doesn't tell you anything, and you have to call again, counter-offer him this. Give up on this season, and ask him to let you prove yourself in 2019 (fixing fences, etc.). I'lll bet you a nickel you get permission next year.

Do not do the card in the mail!!! Every time we get one of these it screams lazy! And immediately gets round filled. Not all land owners are the same but a general conversation can go along way, I can get a pretty good read on someone after a 5 min conversationIf the landowner is not local, it might be hard to have a face to face conversation.

Little update. So yesterday when I got pictures of this buck I went and asked for permission. The renter contacted the owner while I was there and he said to tell me no hunting. I felt like using the renter in the middle was probably not the best way to go about it. But it was a spur of the moment thing. I used my onX but couldn’t find anything on the written owner. So I google the tax address. A Canadian one. I came up with a number and called it. The property owner answered. I explained why I called and he said ya I know I was called yesterday by the renter and said no. I kinda kept talking to him admitting I didn’t really think it was right to contact him through his renter. I then offered to help him with work or other needed repairs, I noticed he had no “no hunting” signs anywhere he said he really has never had people ask for permission to hunt. But a couple years ago somebody shot a window out on a shop he has. I told him the first this I would do is post the property and also be willing to keep an eye on it. He started to change his tune. And pulled his “no” off the table. But said he needs to talk to the Neighbour’s a bit and will then let me know. So now I wait. Haha. So much anticipation. I also told him I would be willing to only bow hunt. I have a multi season deer tag.
Nice, I heard an podcast where they guy does the same thing about posting the property free for the owner. He also references the laws and offers a signed paper releasing the owner of any liability if he gets hurt. You may consider something like that, maybe even agreeing in writing to cover any damage you cause or even agreeing to only hunt certain portions of the property that are X yards (well lower than maximum weapon range) from buildings, etc.

I work with private landowners frequently, and we always use these to put the landowners minds at ease. You should be able to easily find a demo waiver form on Google.
Good luck sounds like it's going to work out!
