Everyone says to ask others about hunting on their property and eventually you will find someone that will allow you to hunt on their property. I have asked so many people and been turned down 100% of the time. If this doesn't work, it's not like I am not used to it.
Does anyone have any property near Lakeland, or know of anyone that does, that I would be able to hunt hogs on?
I live in Auburndale which is just east of Lakeland and about 30 minutes or so west of Orlando. My work schedule is Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday 6am-6pm giving me 4 days off every week. This gives me lots of free time which is awesome. I get to spend a lot of time with the family.
Ideally I would want to find something as close to home as possible but anything that is within 45 minutes or so would be alright as I would be able to help out as needed with the property. I think anything further than that would become too far if the gas prices begin to climb again to the $4.00+/gallon range. The closer the property, the easier it would be to check cameras, fill feeders, or help out in any other way that I just don't know about since I have never owned property. I would be more than willing to help out in any way possible.
I don't want or need a ton of hogs.
At some point I would like to introduce my daughter(s) to hunting if they are interested but being that I only hunt on local WMAs for now, I do not want to introduce them to the atmosphere of public hunting in Florida just yet. Too many horror stories.
I would be willing to sign any waivers so the property owner would not have to worry about me suing them if there was to be an accident.
I would never invite anyone else to hunt with me on the property without permission of the land owner.
Any and all help on this is appreciated.
Heres sone info. From your place to green swamp all the way to rt19 theres tons of ranches and some strips with nothing but ranches and farms. I havent gotten time to hit those places up but i know when i do ill get a ranch. use google earth theres two main stretches that are full of ranches and farms.

I have asked a few after a day of hunting or scouting. Of course I wouldn't show up in camo, I would bring a change of clothes.
Most properties with hogs on it do not have homes on it, which means noone there to ask.
I have come across a few guys working on the property or leaving the property and talked with them but obviously nothing came of it.
I will keep trying though.
im gettig a ranch soon. i gotta get out and work on it. put up flyers in feed shops. it works.
You mean you are buying a ranch? If so, where?
