By asking in person the landowner gets to see who you are, and gets to see what kind of attitude you have, which can make the him more comfortable about granting permission. As well , since I am the person asking for something, I should be the one making all of the effort towards getting permission. The landowner should not have to go out of his way to do me a favor, so I don't expect him to be calling a complete stranger to grant permission.


I would always ask in person also shows a bit more respect. Or if for what ever reason I did get permission over the phone I would go meet the people face to face before I did any hunting. And as always a pack of steaks or two and some jerky from the kill after the season is over
