Permission, leases and courtesy
Offer the landowner near Michigan Valley something useful: a copy of your license, proof of insurance if you lease, and a promise to report problems you see. Once an owner near Lyndon agrees, ask about lines, gates and other hunters on the county tract.
Season-to-season scouting
Creek bottoms and fence-row cover near Lyndon show clearly on the county imagery, and the parcel lines tell you who to ask about them. Owners near Burlingame change, so recheck the county record before each season's letters.
