good for you.
I have permission to hunt some land near Longview. Quite often I've spotted game across the road, but not having permission, could do little more than watch. I've gone cap-in-hand to the landowner several times and asked, even invoked the name of his neighbour I know well, but the answer has always been "no". He would hum and haw, say he already had friends hunting it, liked to keep it in the family, etc.
Then the other day I looked again at the county map. The land I have always been asking to access is actually CROWN LEASED LAND! Think I'll do a little more research, then mosey out there, and if he has no cattle on it, simply
inform him of the date and time I'll be hunting that land. What a ^#*#$
