[QUOTE="longrangepistol, post: 1647920, member: 4182"] I grew up in Souteastern New Mexico where public land or Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land was everywhere. I got spoiled and when I moved to Oklahoma in the early 90's I ran into the same problem. My solution was to do my homework and meet as many landowners and offer to help them out. I got a few offers and earned my access to hunt. I primarily bow hunted, which some landowners were relieved, because they had prior "hunters" shoot their place up target practicing on farm implements and signs. You reap what you sow and unfortunately you have to deal with prior hunter's bad acts and be an ambassador for the sport, which includes showing landowners there are hunters who will pick up other's trash and and be respectful of their land. I no longer work to hunt, my firm leases land for clients and business associates. The one caveat I still hold dear is to treat the landowner and his lands as if they were your own. We still do Christmas baskets for the landowners and always stop by and let them know of any updates or changes on the property. I have carried this philosophy with me all my life and it's returned ten fold in the courtesies extended by the landowners we've leased from. There is no free lunch in being afforded the opportunity to hunt private lands. BUT, do your homework and meet as many landowners as you can. The worst they can tell you is no. Don't give up and you'll find the experience and people you'll meet may become lasting relationships. LRP [/QUOTE]
