In my nearly 20 years of doing "farm" insurance (I work with Alfa) I obviously make many relationships with many farmers and other large landowners. In all that time I've only had ONE farmer say YES I could hunt on his land. And even that guy apparently let everybody hunt there...heck it was worse than a WMA. The common denominator with all the NO's is that they hunt themselves, or their family hunts it. Literally, every-dang-human in Alabama apparently hunts.
I have a lady near Talladega, AL who owns 800 acres (about half pasture and the rest small pines). She's 77 years old, widowed for years now. There are always turkeys in her pasture, and I "jokingly" asked her about letting me hunt those turkeys and she said "My grandDAUGHTERS would be so mad, they hunt those turkeys!" She also joked that everybody in the county has asked her to hunt. Which substantiates my point--when you get asked by everybody, you basically have to allow nobody.
