PA Bandit,
Since this is the beginning of a new year, I suggest knocking on doors to get permission to hunt coyote and/or groundhogs. Frequent these places, make yourself known as a varmint killing machine and you'll win over the landowner...and often his neighbors too. Often the word of a good varmint hunter gets out to the surrounding areas and it can open other doors as well.
When you're talking to these landowners, make it very clear that you want to be "out of sight and out of mind". Meaning: You don't want to be a bother to the landowners' operations of farming, by blocking gates or other areas of access.
* Ask where you can park your vehicle, so as not to be a bother to the goings on of their activities.
* Mention that you'd rather walk in to an area, so as not to spook the game. This lets them know you're not going to be driving back the lanes, rutting it up and knocking things down.
* If it looks like you're about to be given permission, let him know that you'll keep him informed of others on the property. This shows responsibility for your actions and his property.
* Ask where the property lines end and begin, so you're not on property that you don't have permission. Again, this shows that you're wanting to abide by the "rules" and you're showing respect.
Quite often this method will get you in the door of some good deer hunting property. If it doesn't, perhaps it will get you in the door of some good varmint hunting property for the neighbors' deer hunting property. This has worked for me, for decades.
Good hunting, Bowhunter57
