Well after reading several threads on this site since joining on ways to get properties to hunt on I thought id give the ole letter box drop a try.
I met 79mod out at Moranbah a few months back and being unable to get permission to take him hunting on the small block Keith and I hunt on now I decided to get my butt into gear and find a place we could hunt on together. Iv talked to heaps of people and had plenty of interest but it never seems to get past the talking part. Everyone knows someone who knows someone and they will get back to me ect ect...
So I made up a letter head with a small pic of myself with my first little bow shot pig and what I beleived to be relivant info to see if I could get someones attention. Bit flash adding the pic I thought but I wanted to stand out from the crowd so to speak.
Took a drive with the missus for the arvo and droped off 7 letters. Covered between 400 to 500ks round trip.
Two days later I got a call from one of the property owners.
Turns out he actually pig hunts with dogs but decided we could hunt his place with the bows. He hasnt let anyone else hunt there before.
The lack of guns n dogs was our ticket to getting permission.
Plenty of rabbits and dingos/dogs to hunt he tells me with only the odd pig wandering through.
He has been busy and we have been unable to get out to meet him. He rang me last night and organised a time in two weeks for a trip out for a look around and a hunt. While we were talking he asked me if we would be interested in hunting a few deer as he has a place further down the road with 70 or 80 deer running around on it. Gee Ill have to to think about that. Not.
So hopefully over the next few months Ill be able to post some pics of Keith and 79 stalking some deer and bunnies.
