While in Florida last January and February, I discovered a colony of wild hogs only 1/2 mile from the RV resort where we were staying.
While in Florida I was able to find phone numbers of 3 different property owners. One denied owning the property, another couldn't tell me NO fast enough and another granted me permission to hunt the hogs.
Back in Illinois now where I have a printer, I mailed 8 different land owner letters explaining my interest in hunting the wild hogs on their property and included a return envelope with postage so they could send me a reply. I also included my phone numbers and my email address so they could easily reply that way. I told them I would hunt with either a bow or shotgun.
It has been 2 weeks now and not a single reply from the property owners. Quite possible myself being an Illinois resident was a turn off. Without knowing the land owner, hunting permission is difficult near home in Illinois.
Anyone here have a strategy for obtaining land owner hunting permission? What could I do different? Should I wait a few months and contact them again? Only this time include pictures of the hogs on or near their property?
Thanks,
Jim
