Asking permission to access someone else's property is the way to go. I recently asked a neighbor, after they had combined their beans, if I could walk across their field to the creek to throw a minnow trap. Field is owned by two brothers. I asked Bro 1 and he told me to ask Bro 2. I tried to both call and message Bro 2 but got no reply. After a couple weeks I asked Bro 1 if I should assume Bro 2 not answering as "stay off our land?" He said Yes, that is correct. So I will stay off their land.
