Asking for permission to access - Kijiji
So I have noticed over the last few years, many people asking for hunting access on Kijiji... Does this actually work? I would think this is the lazy way out and that most land owners would respect folks that pound the pavement? Does it work? Just curious...
Thoughts?

Lots of landowners will say yes and give you access, but I don't think any are going out of their way to find people who want to hunt their land. Don't think any landowners are reading and responding to those ads.

I've seen some on community Facebook pages as well and was curious if the posters get any responses.

I think this is likely a better and more successful approach: https://canadianlandaccess.com/
Haven't used it myself, but my wife's colleague does (he's one of the folks doing the testimonial on their webpage). Of course, it's not free like Kijiji... $70 a year I think.

My hunting partner drives a Ford Fiesta. He gets hunting permission all the time, I think they feel sorry for him.

As a genuine redneck with 5 quarters of quality land "hunting" I do allow hunting with permission. However, if your knuckles ain"t draggin your chances are not so good. Maybe climb back in your Fiesta and beat it back to the city. Seriously though just be nice and i may grant you access. Just another country bumpkin.

Crappy car and no camo is the way to go. Better chances than jack up diesel and camo.

I was refused permission once this fall because the landowner doesn't allow hunting on his property, and once because someone else was given permission a few days before me. I have asked by phone when I couldn't locate the landowners home on my map, but I prefer to ask in person. 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 see them often online here in bc peace. I'd probably be inclined to let one good person hunt my land, but I'm both a owner and hunter... would rather be asked in person. Seen ads asking for location which is suspicious...

Lol no just a diesel. The one guy had a nice jacked up diesel so that wasn’t the issue. It was out west of Calmar but I here they have issues out that way with lots of quads and dirt bikes trespassing and cutting fences so that might have to do with it.

And it really bothers some people that a landowner can deny access for whatever reason he chooses. It can be what you drive, what you wear, what you say, or even the color of your skin, when it comes to granting permission, the landowner can base his choice on whatever he chooses, and he doesn't have to explain his decision to anyone.

Shouldn’t have to explain his decision. Like most things first impression is paramount. Hat on backwards, pants hanging down to your knees, piercings everywhere and man buns should stay at home.

The flat brimmed hat rule is a good one! If I owned huntable land that rule would apply on mine as well. Same would go for neck tattoos. If a person visibly shows that they’re not capable of good decisions it’s a valid reason to not let them hunt your land, hire them, etc because they’ll probably make some more bad decisions that screws something up for you. Flat brimmed ball caps are among the worst haberdashery decisions that can be made!

Sorry to be out-of-touch, but what's the significance of flat-brimmed ball caps?
Do only "certain types" wear them?
I have one with a Calgary Flames logo and now I don't know what to do with it.
I understand about neck tats.
