How to get permission to hunt small piece of land (where a farmhouse once stood)? Any ideas? It's now for sale with the agents contact info. How can I find more about the exact age of the house? It's not there anymore, but it's visible in 1952 on the maps. There should be some silvers there, right? Thanks!
 
Always get permission. I always try the County GIS website to ID the owner and try to visit them in person (dress nice! not in your digging cloths) to request permission. Often I find the owner lives adjacent to the property I want to hunt. If they live out of town/state you can try calling if their number is listed or send them a letter. In my experience, when I can do it in person, I have about an 80% success rate, 50% by phone and very little success when I send a letter. Good luck!
