[QUOTE="zoops, post: 313351, member: 790"] I too prefer to ask landowners in person. Even finding phone numbers is getting difficult these days as many have gone away from landlines or don't answer them. There were two landowners this fall whose homes I stopped at least 5 times each within a couple week period in November before making contact (one in person, the other I finally just stopped at a nearby farm and got his number). One of these landowners was over 10 miles away from the piece I was asking permission on. He gave me permission for the weekend but said he'd probably be hunting it the next weekend (impressive that he allowed me), so it's not like you can always say go find them at a less busy time of year (is there a less busy time of year for a rancher? :))as many probably give permission on a week to week basis. Of course hunting will continue if the 'trespass' bill passes, it's just that a part of the ND heritage will die with it for no good reason. [/QUOTE]
