50/50 or worse?
I’ve been seeing a monster in my hood and the cornfield behind me is very close to where I saw his gangster arse...

I find it easier to just ask for forgiveness.

Just pop a cap in him thug.

What do you expect anyone to be able to tell you? Your neighbor could be the nicest guy in the world or tell you to frick off. Only way you’re gonna find out is knock on the door.

Where I’m from, people would laugh you off their property for asking for deer hunting permission. Everything that can be hunted is either family hunted or somebody is making a lot of money off of it.
The only animal I’ve had success asking for permission to hunt, is doves.

In South Dakota, we were up there to cock and also duck hunt. We found a pond loaded with ducks and asked if we could hunt it. Before we could begin to ask, the farmer said sorry boys I already promised the pheasants on opening weekend to someone. We said no, we want to hunt the ducks on your pond. The farmer said, ducks? You want to hunt ducks? Sure, why not.

Too much liability these days. Lawyers have ruined western civilization.

I feel like this would only work out west or the Midwest

If you asked in the south they would look at you like you are crazy

What bothers me is that most people won't realize you're just trolling

I’m sounding greedy, I have rights to hunt a 600 acre farm, 30 acre spot of an aunt and 37 acres on brother in law.... but this buck behind my house in velvet is a bute!

Generally speaking in the south, you should.expeft about 1/20 to say yes in my experience. Between someone else already paying to lease it and them just not liking you shoes.and everything in between

Either would help. I'd show up with a plan for lease, or help around the farm. Plus insurance and a willingness to help out or give them some meat.

In my experience, they want somekne who will value the land and the deer, so act accordingly.

Two buddies pull up to an old man’s farm and one of the guys walks up to the door and asks the old man who owns the farm if he allows deers hunting on his land. The old man says he normally does not allow people to hunt. But he points out to the pasture at an old horse that can barely stand. He tells the hunter that horse has been his best friend for 30 years but the vet said it was eat up with cancer and needed to be put down. The old man thought he could do it himself but when the time came he could not and told the hunter if you will put that horse down I will let you and your friend hunt my farm this year. The hunter said he hated to do it but if that is what the old man wanted he would honor his wishes. They thanked each other and the old man went back inside because he could not watch what was about to happen.
The hunter was walking back to his truck and thought he would have some fun with his friend. He got back to the truck and reached in the back and grabbed his rifle. The friend asked what the old man said and the first guy said that the old man said they could not hunt but I will show that a-hole. I’m going to shoot his damn horse. He aimed his rifle and dropped the horse in his tracks. As soon as the horse hit the ground the first guy jumped at the sound of a second gun shot from the truck. His friend screamed “ Hell yea, F that old man I just shot his damn dog”.

I’ve been fortunate to have a crap ton of uncles with land. But I’ve seen a lot of people try and get access. Your best bet is to have a skill you can offer.

There’s a kid who works for a heat and air company. He helped out with some heat and air issues at camp as a favor a few times. Then never failed to answer the phone over the years if there were problems. He got deer hunting access.

Another guy is great at working a backhoe and has helped out on projects a million times. He gets to do some duck hunting.

I give them credit for working the system. They helped out and more or less got permission to hunt without ever directly asking.

Now they get to hunt and they’re local, so they watch out for the property like they own it.

So long story short, figure out a way to be helpful to the owner and then be reliable. Hunting access will probably follow.

With that said, anyone here have some property I could shoot a few squirrels on around Lafayette?

-just me.
-zero criminal history.
-willing to bring back zip loc of cleaned squirrels to land owner.
-safe.
-always have license and follow LDWF regulations.
-open to signing no fault contract God forbid anything occur while on property.
-would contact day prior to any hunting.


(long shot, but 100% serious)

Jerry Clower did a fantastic take on this tell. Funny in all variations

My favorite Jerry Clower joke.
