[QUOTE="TRnCO, post: 1961798, member: 115202"] I know this thread is old, but I thought I'd share some thoughts, maybe give a gentle push to Vandy321, and energize you to get out there. In general, landowners out east are pretty easy to approach. Sure enough some can be grumpy and not give a guy the time of day, on any given day. BUT most of them, it just takes a hand shake and some curtesy and when it comes to letting a guy hunt coyotes, they will let some guys on. I've been going back to the same ranches for years, and it's taken time, but I now have a bit of a reputation with several, enough so that they give me names and numbers of other ranchers and tell me to tell them when I call, that they sent me. With years of simply doing everything right, I have many open gates to me now. When I say "doing everything right", that includes closing gates that I found closed, never leaving a bit of trash any where, abiding by the ranch rules no matter what they are, including never leaving the two track with my truck, not going down muddy two tracks, etc. One other thing that I do too is take each rancher some kind of "goodie" around Christmas time. A couple ranchers have requested a bottle of Crown Royal, or beer, etc., and I have shared other goodies suck as chocolate covered peanuts, or summer sausage, etc. I recommend knocking on some doors. The worse that can happen is you're told "no". Avoid the high traffic ranches that have the better big game hunting, because you're right, those ranches are often leased for big game and many of them won't let a piddly coyote hunter on for nuthin' Good luck [/QUOTE]
