Good post. So far I've gotten permission by plain old door knocking (at reasonable times) or introduction by friends. I have been planning on doing something similar to one of those business cards, just a computer printout of a 'hunter introduction'. I'll put on my name and maybe a photo (some people are more visual in their memory), phone #'s, a vehicular description/plate #/photo, a reference phone number or two of landowners who know me, etc. My feeling is that landowners will feel that by not being so anonymous, you will likely be more accountable and responsible in your behaviour on their land. I know who they are and where they live, why shouldn't they know who I am?
