    Drive out to where you think may be some possums and start door knocking. Ask if its possible for you to trap some possums, explain how you want to get some cash together cos youre interested in hunting and would like to buy a rifle when you get your license. Dont say too much about the hunting, focus on the possums and making some cash. Once you get a foot in the door, and have trapped a few possums and have some fur mounting up, keep the farmer/s concerned informed of your progress. This is all about establishing a rapport, proving your credibility and work ethic. Do that right and access to use a rifle and look for other game will follow. And then one farmer mentions you to his neighbour and you may get access to further properties. Its a slow process, but in a lot of cases its the groundwork for lifelong relationships.
