Ben, a guy I talked to on another site uses this method here in Florida.
He writes up his hunting and shooting resume with his name, address and phone number. He adds a listing of how long he has hunted, what courses he has taken, and what organizations he belongs to. Then he prints it up along with the Sportmen's Pledge, (see Below) and drops them off at the farms in the area he wants to hunt.
Very often the farmers will give him a call and invite him to hunt on their land since he has been so professional about asking. It's worth a try for you.
And if you don't mind, let me know how it works because eventually I'm going to do a little hog hunting up in GA too.
