What's the best way to get permission to hunt on someone's farmland? I live on the edge of what I would consider "rural", and would like to get permission to hunt some of the local farms near my house, but I don't know who the farmer/owner is. Some of these properties either have no house or 2-3 houses and no obvious signs of who the owner is. ie. barns, tractors, that sort of thing. I waited all spring in hopes of catching someone planting in order to introduce myself, and "BOOM", what seemed like one day while I was at work, it was done. I am pretty sure on one place that might be the farmer, but wasn't sure what the best approach might be. Just drive up and introduce myself and hope he doesn't shoot me? write a letter and hope the guy calls me back? This is only my third year hunting, and in the past I've just gone to the public FWA, which is pretty nice, but the 80 mile round trip was gettin old by December, not to mention gas is double what it was last year.
