Give me some ideas on getting land owner contact info!
I have a decent amount of permission in my target area this fall, and it will most likely be more than enough to fill my tag with a good buck. That being said there are a few chunks of land that I know hold good bucks and that I can't find any contact info for. Canada 411 doesn't have the info, unoccupied land, not farmed in many cases, the neighbors don't have the contact info or are unwilling to share for privacy concerns etc., or simply know the owner but don't have contact info.
I typically try and fill my permission binder with as much contact info as possible even if I don't intend to contact everyone. I'd rather have it at my fingertips than google search from my phone in spotty cell coverage if I happen to see an animal I want to take. From what I understand a land title search doesn't provide a phone number or really much more information than the landowner map, and would start to add up on cost. I've even looked for names on social media with very limited success. Does anyone have any other wild ideas on tracking down some contact info? |
I-hunter app and then purchase county or MD maps
It also lists grazing contacts when u hit on them with name and phone number for free |

I understand what you are trying to do,,,, and I applaud you for wanting to know,,, but would you want your contact info readily available to hustlers, con artists, scammers and,,, camo clad rambos with guns?!!!!

Land agents run into this all the time. And they do the kinds of things you are already doing!!! |
you can pull a land title from the govt of AB website. I believe they cost $10 bucks or so and it will give you the LO info

You can use the Spin2 web site and do a title search. I had to do this last year on a piece of land. It is really scary the kind of information that was made available on that search... anyways, I got the land owners first name but still couldn't find his number. But with the info from the title search I was able to get a hold of one of his relatives who gave me his number. Turned out to be a really nice old retired farmer. Permission granted.
You could try asking the county office. But depending on who you talk to they normally won't give out personal contact information. Good luck |
Talk to the neighbours they all know each other

Permission has been extremely hard to get these days.Last few times have resulted in freaked out land owners when they first approach the door. I understand why, with the amount of on going rural crime. I wonder if it would not make things more comfortable if you could call prior to going out. I used to prefer doing it all in person. Collared shirt, clean shaven it does not seem to help much, people are very cautious of strangers. However, Its the only thing that can be done if you are looking for permissions.

County offices SHOULD have all that information. If you are looking for grazing lease info, I found a great website that has contact information for all the grazing lease in Alberta.
https://maps.srd.alberta.ca/RecAcces...ewer=RecAccess It takes a little bit of work to figure it out but it is very useful. Y'all can pay me later....:) |
Yes grazing lease information fairly easy to get they have a few sites it's the private landowners that's the hard part of trying to find who owns a quarter of land

I also enjoy shed hunting however and that results in asking permission earlier in year. At any time of year as soon as I drive down a back rural road people often believe you are "casing". I can be as upfront as clear as possible to my intentions. It just happens, I understand it, I accept it. Its just unfortunate the crime has resulted in this. EDIT: And even worse is that what I hear from landowners is that criminals are using a hunting pretext to case the places. |

Landowner names
I have purchased landowner maps in the past. Typically if you get a hold of the neighbor of the unknown landowner they can give you some insight into who owns it and where they live. I have tried googling names, 411, and landowner maps. Usually a combo of all of these gets results.

Here is a link to all the county maps that Map Town in Calgary has for sale. Pretty extensive.

Most county's now have county maps on their web sites you can download and print. Also, I believe there is thread here somewhere with a copy of most of the county maps in Alberta.

For what it’s worth, you’re sounding like you deserve to keep going down this path because your intentions are good and you deem yourself to respect the land owner, but at the end of this quest, the landowner may not appreciate the effort you put into finding them. Privacy is a safety thing. Respecting privacy may be the greatest respect you can show a landowner.
