So the predominantly swampy WMA I hunt has a very nice section of high ground that is rather inconveniently situated. It's about a 300 yard walk on the other side of the road feok my mailbox, or a 5 mile boat ride. Private property is blocking legal access from the road.
One of my summer projects is going to be trying to get permission to access the property through a parcel of private. There are over 2 dozen properties that would grant me access. All I need is one "yes" and it opens up over 500 acres that i could access in maybe 10 minutes from my kitchen door, sans boat.
Has anybody had luck gettimg permission not to hunt, but to access public land through private? Most of the property is owned by out-of-towners (vacation homes on the river), and going door to door isnt really am option. Should I call or write a letter? Send a picture of myself? Offer to pay for access?
Completelyt new venture for me, any help is appreciated.
