Trade labor for hunting permission?

[stubborn1VT]

I am wondering if anyone would be interested in letting my hunt their property in trade for labor.  I don't have money for a lease, but I do have some skills and equipment that I could offer for "payment".  

I was thinking of something like this: A long weekend of labor over the spring/summer for at least a long weekend of hunting.  

I can bring: chainsaws, walk-behind brush cutter, walk behind tiller, small stump grinder, other hand tools, farming and food plotting experience and insurance.  I run a one-man "land care" business in Vermont.  I cut trees, clear brush, brush-hog, rototill, prune and sell firewood.

I am looking for: a place to hunt with a crossbow or a rifle, some leads on lodging, general hunting advice.  I am particularly interested in hunting during the first 2 weeks in November. I'm not looking for a guided hunt, more of a base of operations.  I had this in mind when I joined the forum 3 years ago, but I have never hunted in NY.  I live near Lake Champlain and I'm not far from the NZ/SZ border.  It's not important that I kill a deer, but I sure would like to see some.  

I have been hunting for 30+ years.  I am a "sitter" as opposed to a stand hunter.  I am a meat hunter, but I try to shoot 2.5 year old bucks.  I am not opposed to shooting does, but haven't taken one in 11 or 12 years.  I have killed 1-2 bucks a year for the last 10 years.  

I meant to do this sooner, but now seems like a good time.  I run my own business and set my own schedule.  

If you are interested, feel free to message me or reply to this thread.

Seems fair and good luck. May want to check out some other strictly farming sites and make that offer. And I bet hunting the weekdays would open up some more opportunities (obviously if you work schedule allows).

I should probably mention that I am also insured.
