Permission slip question.

[antiqucycle]

My guess is 60% of hunters do not have written permission.

If its so important, why hasn't Pennsylvania required it in writing, that state has a law for everything.

Most of us aren't in PA but worry about Ohio law.

Well, if any of you want to come hunt Crawford County without a slip go right ahead. I can tell you the GW here will not play around with you. He will write tickets first and let you deal with the courts.

I agree with this statement. But every hunter should get written permission because
A) it's the law
B) it helps clear any confusion between the landowner and hunter.....written permission is not as easy to get as second hand word of mouth permission that it too common

If a landowner doesn't want to give written permission I usually fill out slip and write Verbal permission given by ( landowners name ) and include the date .

Me TOO. I usually add their phone number also.

And phone number.....great idea

I add the phone number as well, especially their cell if they have one. Where our duck blind is, the owner doesn't like to sign slips. He'd rather someone call him direct if there's an issue. I've never met him in person, but he likes to talk oil and gas with me, so we always have good talks when I call. I have no doubt he'd help me in a pinch.

About the only thing I hunt on other folks land is groundhogs. If I can't get written permission I don't hunt. I've got a ton of slips that were made out Until Further Notice instead of daily or annually. All have the landowners phone number if a problem ever arises. Some of these are dated over 10 years ago. I've never been checked for written permission ever. Probably because the wardens are busy with fishermen when I'm hunting groundhogs.
