I know this land owner Chuck is talking about and he's completely against any hunting on his property and if he says no he aint kidding and he'll say no in a way you wont forget that he said it


No need to be an ass about it if someone shows you the courtesy of asking, unless he already knew he was planning on poaching. This is why a lot of hunters, especially young ones are afraid to ask. It is easier to just risk it than to get an undeserved ass chewing for asking.


Between my parents and my own property in 40 years I believe I can count on 2 hands the number of people who have asked for permission to hunt our properties. During the same time I can't count on both hands AND feet the number we have caught hunting without permission. Never has been one who had asked previously.


Can I have permission to hunt yours and your parents land? And any other land you have power to grant permission to hunt on? grin


Politely, no.
