Before I begin, sorry for these dumb questions. I apologize.
What would you do if you are going to some random farms to ask if they have wild pig problems and you tell them you'll try to take care of them?
I mean I never done it before and even if I do, I really don't know what I should do... Do I need a permit or something?
Would they more likely deny me for liability issue?
Like I said, dumb questions guys... I just don't have any knowledge about asking around to look for places to hunt wild pigs...

Be polite. Offer to share any meat if they want it. Don't mess with their daughters! 😀
Some may say you are wasting your time, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Worst the farmer can say is "No". If they do, thank them for their time, and go to the next one. You may have to visit 100 farms to get one "maybe", or you might get lucky the first place you go. If you find a place, it'll be worth it. If you do find a place, make sure you understand the farmers rules if he sets any, and don't assume anything. If he hasn't said you can do something (bring a friend, use a 4 wheeler, hunt at night, clean the hogs on the farm, dump the carcass on the farm, etc.) don't do it without asking. Treat them with respect and how you would expect to be treated if the land were yours. If you see something you might do to help him out, do it. Build a good relationship and you'll always be welcome.
Thank you for your reply sir.
I mean I guess it would be up to me to find out :death
It's difficult. be polite and courteous, and offer to do some free work around the farm. Most won't want you shooting a firearm so it will more than likely be archery only
it's tough. many that have given permission before have been burned. gates left open, livestock escaped/shot, high powered rifles whizzing around, somebody falls and sues the owner, one guy is given permission and 4 trucks show up, litter/beer cans/animal guts all over. 1 slob can ruin things for many. take some time and try to build a relationship, then wait to be asked if you want to hunt. always be thinking of what they want or could use. it can take quite some time but be worth it in the long run. I was fortunate to have a job that took me too peoples homes.
