That's what I do.
How often do you find someone who's interested out of curiosity.
1 out of 10 people or what?
Funny you ask!
Took the family away to the in laws holiday house this weekend. Took a google maps detour to get there (sometimes it takes you some weird ways but sometimes you discover a gem!) and we ended up driving through some absolutely stunning properties in the hills.
I stopped to talk to a lovely lady who was taking care of her horses on a tiny patch of property and we got talking. Had the kids in the back who were enjoying her horses and long story cut short I ended up at the neighbours door to have a chat. He was a great bloke and enjoyed the chat and came over and saw the little ones - he was more than happy to swap details and let me go on for a hunt whenever I want. Had a quick walk of the prop one morning and saw a s**t ton of rabbits running across a lane along the property and into his fields - seems they like hiding in the bushes on his fence. Didn't get anything and didn't let more than a couple shots off, however I will definitely get out there under lights now I know the place!
Long story cut short, first time I've ever asked and I was rewarded! He was more appreciative of the fact that I spoke to him man to man and asked rather than jump his fences without permission. Gotta get out there in the next few weeks!
I will definitely be trying to speak to more property owners now.
