living close to a big city has a cost for hunting and you re not alone to hunt. im the second grand pa telling you to do the same. nobody will give out all the secret spots just because you asked it ...
there is a lot of good hunting on the quebec side (waterfowl) of the ottawa river but you need a boat ... sorry it is 2019 ... you need tools also ...

Ok two old men lecturing. In 2019 that’s called being a troll. Hahahah
If you cared to read my post you would note that I said exactly what you are laying out for me... it’s a rant.
You have me all figured out by reposting one photo you found.
Holy Bejesus, Tough crowd.

What did you expect... and if it was this, why are you complaining.
I did wish you "good luck" you had the option to leave it at that.
For what it is worth, my son and I have a rota of twelve properties to hunt turkeys on... guess how we got them??? Drive, scout, knock... maybe you need to work on your presentation.
As a point of clarification, when I say "knock" I mean on the doors of the landowners, not your keyboard...
But, again... good luck... it is worth the effort.

There are lots of farmers in eastern ontario looking for pest control. I wrote a nice letter and printed 500 copies and spend a day dropping them in the mailbox of everyone I could that had good land for deer and game birds. At the end of the day I had put out all 500. Two called me. Once gave me permission. offering pest control and actually doing something of value for the landowner is a great way in, and then often they will let you know take what you want while there.
I also patrol the perimeter, mend fences, keep up the signage, report back what I don't know how to fix, wave to the neighbors and generally help keep the place look used to deter trespassers. Its a great mutually beneficial relationship. The property has actually changed hands and the old owner introduced me to the new who quickly agreed to continue the access.
I gave up trying to connect with people online years ago, because real farmers are too busy for the internet.

Bingo. I'm hardly the most personable person on the planet but I've made plenty of good contacts and indeed friends by knocking on doors.
OP, and everyone else with the same issue -
Offer more than you want to take. Hardly rocket surgery. The best property I got access to was when I came across a gent having trouble with his Kubota big end and I happened to have some tools and plastigage set in the Jeep by sheer coincidence, and downloaded the service manual on the spot. Not an act either - I worked a white collar desk job at the time and working on engines was (is) as much fun as going hunting. That was after three or four weekends in a row driving two hours one way with minimal luck. An afternoon helping one farmer get his tractor running again while my Mrs and his Mrs socialized opened up more local doors than months of driving around. Couple of fun hours helping him, got a lovely lunch out of it cooked by his wife, and earned the privilege of hunting his property. This was in the most hunted WMU for deer in ON, and by far the most pressured and productive one. The difference is that the guys that asked before me only showed up to hunt, and were jerks. I mean, I'm a jerk - but I have a lovely wife that hunts with me and does the socializing, plus I'm occasionally useful. That's all it takes. Every time we showed up to hunt after that we brought a bottle of wine and they insisted on us having lunch with them.
Don't be a leper. Offer something useful. It's not complicated.
There's also some sweet hunting spots not far from Renfrew that are public land. My peeps are from that area and I grew up hunting around there. Never once had to hunt private land.
And why TF would anyone share a spot with some guy off the internet just because he asked them too? Can I arrange a conjugal date with my dog and sister (in that order) for you too? You'd have to be a moron or someone who wants to eff over someone else's spot to hand it out to a guy they don't know. Especially to a guy so thirsty they're asking for it on a message board.

Why should anyone have to motivate you at all... gotta be millennial entitlement... sheesh.
Based on your reaction in this thread, that would be my guess.

I have exclusive permission to hunt a property based on a relationship that was built by my father about 30 years ago. I continue to hunt that property because I also help out when needed. On Tuesday I got a call from the landowner asking when I would be up next as he needed a helping hand. I didnt ask what the help was, I just drove up yesterday morning since I still had to prepare for the pending turkey opener. Well, the helping hand he needed was a first for me. I had to help drag the carcass of a dead calf (apparently if it weighs about 600lbs, its still a calf?!?!) that has been dead for 2 weeks. Thank god the coyotes had already picked the bones clean as Im not sure how we could have moved it without most of the weight gone. And let me tell you, thats a smell you dont ever want to get within 50 meters from, let alone having to handle it. Bloody thing smelled overly ripe 2 weeks ago...yesterday was nauseating just at the thought. Did I want to do it....hell no! But I did.....because thats the kind of stuff that is expected when you want to thank someone who gives you access to land.
Now I need put my cloths in for their third cycle in the wash

1979 is not a millenial. Take a look at the average age of CAF pers and tell me again about Lazy gen Xers.
It's a sad statement on both your parts, I guess you'd consider me and my wife lazy baby boomers because we never served in Afghanistan. But we're are both CAF vet's including a tour to the middle east. Just because fate made us too old to serve in Afghanistan it somehow makes our service unworthy?. I have nothing but the highest respect for those that served in Afghanistan including my best friend that did two in Bosnia, and all other service member's that came before. Try and remember age groups do NOT define merit or your worth in this life. I've found laziness doesn't respect age groups gender or race. I was going to tell this young lad that posted on here that if he didn't mind helping a disabled CF vet to help with some yard work around the house that I may have a spot for him but maybe he's been scared off. Next time THINK before you hit the send button on the keyboard please, that goes for everyone on here.
Thank you, John
