Permission to hunt a plantation?

How would one go about getting permission to hunt plantation grounds ?

Hello Marine! Sorry I didnt get back to you sooner. One plantation that I hunted/ can hunt on is owned by a lady who owns a bed and breakfast. I simply asked her if I could metal detect and she said to knock myself out. I know of some other places that I have been told about thru other old cab drivers that I know, I own a Taxi Cab Service. They are good leads and usually on property that is now sugar cane fields. I intend on contacting some of the owners of the sugar cane fields and according to my sources they will probably also say "knock yourself out". Do a little research, find out where there was a plantation......Plaqumine, Port Allen, New Roads are all good places to start in my area (Baton Rouge). Research any maps, old and new.........find out where thay were. I have found in my limited experience hunting that most people will give permission, especially if its not in their yard ect. Good luck.......hope this helps. Shanegalang

Hey Shane, if you need some help hunting those cane fields or plantations give me a holler. The BREC parks aren't doing it for me. You say you have a Taxi service? My ancestors operated a Taxi Cab service in the late 1930 early 1940's in what was known as "Dixie" in North Baton Rouge. Their company was Howell's Taxi 10cents Phone 9153.
