Leaving Business cards with landowners

I updated the fliers this year to include a Spanish version and a bump in my years of experience.

I also hand out these now as well (pertinent info redacted):

I also carry around a folder with permission slips and a Google Earth map print-out of the area. That way I can get their property lines on paper, as well as picking up other parcels that are not attached to where we are standing. I have an insurance policy through the NRA, but I don't normally mention that unless I absolutely need to.

One more thing I forgot to add. Grab a Gmail email address, then set your phone up with a Google Voice number (you can have it ring to your phone). That way, you can hand out the fliers, or cards, to everyone you run across without worrying about your cell phone number being available to everyone.

However, as stated above, your best bet will be getting a couple of landowners to give you permission. Once you are known to them and do a good job, you can drop their names for references, if needed.

Not to highjack the thread, this is a GREAT thread with some good ideas but can you explain about the NRA insurance?
 
Here is the information from the Lockton Risk NRA Insurance Page:

Additional liability protection for when you're hunting or shooting.
Personal Firearms Liability Insurance for NRA members

Most homeowner's policies fall far short of adequate protection for liability claims. We recognized this gap in coverage and created a custom plan to protect National Rifle Association members.

NRA-endorsed Personal Firearms Liability Insurance protects you against liability suits up to $1,000,000 for any injuries you unintentionally cause while hunting or trapping on public or private land. This coverage also covers you while shooting in competitions or at private shooting ranges.

The NRA-endorsed Personal Firearms Liability Insurance provides:

Coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused by the use of a firearm, air gun, bow & arrow, or trapping equipment when you are legally obligated for damages

Most defense costs in addition to the liability limit—even if the lawsuit is false

Liability limit options from $100,000 up to $1,000,000

Annual Liability Limit Options:

$47 annually:
$100,000 combined single limit

$67 annually:
$250,000 combined single limit

$100 annually:
$500,000 combined single limit

$200 annually:
$1,000,000 combined single limit

This NRA-endorsed insurance offers peace of mind that your personal assets are covered.

If you currently have a policy with us, please call a representative at (877) NRA-3006 to renew.

I carry the $250,000 policy. That way, if I get accused of shooting someone's cow, pivot, or piece of equipment, I don't have to stress about it. I've never had to use it, but it is piece of mind I like to have. Also, if a landowner pushes too hard about having insurance, I probably don't want to risk shooting on their property anyways. As stated above, I only mention it if I absolutely need to. It's been a rare occasion when a landowner asks if I have insurance. Pulling out a copy of the policy never failed to get me on the property.
