I want to add one other thing. I know a guy with property Near Centralia. He offered to let people that his kids met hunt on his land. Along the way, they came back and stole materials like steel and fencing off his land that he paid for to use in some projects. NEVER once, did any of them offer to help this guy build up his place. That pays dividends. You go find a land owner you want to develop a friendship with and offer to help out, not once, but several days each year. In the old days, a bottle of booze was common, today they have a lot of guys who want access. If he has predator problems or dogs or a barn to paint, you have the opportunity to earn some respect and if he does not hunt, then he might appreciate a little meat. And you dont invite your friend along for a free ride. You paid in, no one else. No different than showing up with friends to raid his refrigerator.
