[QUOTE="Gunpowder, post: 2157648, member: 1425"] Great advice all around but I especially can appreciate the tips on how to treat the land and landowners. I came from a ranch background. Honestly we didn't have a bunch of land that was sought after for hunting but I can remember it wasn't Dad's favorite thing to be asked to hunt. He'd just rather not be bothered about it, but also as some were friends he hated saying no. I think that is always in the back of my mind when I'm looking for permission to hunt. Ranchers all have different personalities just like a cross section of any other demographic, and some like to chat about hunting, some like a helping hand and some don't, some want you to stay 1/2 mile from their stock and some aren't worried about it. I literally had one guy many years ago say that if I shot a cow by mistake to come and tell him, don't try and hide it or he'd come after me lol. Another thing I think helps alot with the land is using small atv's, utv's instead of big heavy trucks. These sandhills are easily tracked up and if you make a rut on a hillside it may start a mini ravine as the water flows. With my quieted down RZR with big tires it barely leaves a trace you were there and I like that alot. Carrying a few fencing essentials and knowing how to use them if needed like Dave said will gain you some points and credibility with ranchers also. Funny, I didn't inherit the cowboy gene but I did enjoy going around the fences in the spring. I was taught that a couple days squaring things away in the spring would save you many hours and headaches all summer long. [/QUOTE]
