Germ:
How about the advice from Joe Brooks? It's never NOT worked, for me. It's VERY sound. Rob/PA's got my book....or I'd type it out for you.
Start by getting an aerial map of the land, though. Maybe Germ'll post the rest.

Be polite, dress nice, take the map with you and show her the property line. Drive a car, not a truck for her. Make sure it is an american car. Have a resume of your huntingto give to her. Act like it isthe job of a lifetime for you.Leave the resume and have her call you back. Like Jeff said it works!
If that does not work, thenget her drunk

I don't want to rush your decision so I will leave you my name and number, and if you think we might can work something out please give me a call.
If you have to come back, bring a gift.

I would not do that unless she says no. Then just ask her to reconsider and you'll come back in a few days if that's OK with her.
If you have to come back, bring a gift.

EDIT: I should have edited my first post by saying if she doesn't come out with a resounding YES, and she acts hesitant. Then I would.......

RE: Help me get this land!
I always tell them this:
1. I am a State Certified Hunter's Ed/Safety Instructor
2. I have a $500,000.00 insurance policy.
3. A waver will be signed releasing the landowner from all responsiblity/liability.
4. I will ONLY be taking kids hunting/viewing wildlife and no other hunter will be on their land.
5. During and after the season we will have a clean up day to pick up litter on the land.
6. (Depending on the person) I offer to share or give all of the meat to the landowner.
7. No perm. stands will be put up.
8. No trees will be cut and/or damaged.

Some want you to use firearms (don't ask 'cause I don't know why) but most, like Jeff is pointing out, feel safer knowing it's "just" bow and arrow.

RE: Help me get this land!
My son has a new approach to getting access to new hunting spots. He takes his 2 year old Daughter with him. Let's her tell stories about big Bucks while holding her hands up by her cute little head as if a deers rack, She even tells a story about a non typical and holds one hand down! If thay dont have it leased, or to many members of their own family hunting it, he gets permission every time!!! One old fella was laughing and had tears in his eyes and said, you sure got her trained dont ya Son. It works for Him. I'm gonna barrow her next year!!!
