Landowner Gift Bags

[Justfishin73]

Just thought I would drop a note on here to not forget landowners this time of year. A gift bag with a bottle of wine, chocolates, product of hunt, what ever works.
These thank yous are well deserved and go a long way towards building and growing these relationships.
A hunter card in there is always a good idea too.

I was out visiting and spreading Christmas cheer last week. I wait until the crops are off, and most of the work is done for the year, so the landowners have time to sit back and visit a bit.

A small gift and a thank you card goes a long ways. Been doing it for years.

Already made my rounds, dropped off fresh moose, elk and antelope jerky, and a bottle of carolines at a few strategic locations, most say oh you didn't have to do that but graciously accepted them, it really is a nice way to say thanks and let them know that access to their land is appreciated.

Definitely agree with showing some sign of appreciation. For me its usually just stopping in and drinking their coffee and any sweets offered. Oh ya, I also bring a little sausage or something else for them to try out.

What's a hunter card?

Just a business card with your contact info. I found it helps huge towards permission if they know how to get a hold of you, helps put their minds at ease that you will treat their land with respect. I got 500 done at Vistaprint--$30

All the landowners I have permission from get a visit from me just before Christmas. I always give up some breakfast sausage, some smokies, hamburger patties etc and put a small card in there wishing them a Merry Christmas and thanking them for letting me on again.

It goes a long way, just touching base every summer looking for permission and not interacting with them at all after that is not how things are done.

Some cheese smokies, or kubasa, and a bottle of Crown has been my go to for a number of years. I had to sleep on a couple of their couches a few times, as they insisted that we have a taste, or two, or 5.

And this is the most positive way to keep these landowner and farmers on your side. just a few small gestures and a minute of your time pays big dividends most of the time!
Good Job!

A bottle and a bag of smokies..... It is funny how many times I have heard "thanks very much, you know, no one has ever done this before".....

Merry Christmas

When I used to hunt I always had a nice bottle for the farmer and would get the Christmas gift baskets at Costco for the wife.

Sent my Xmas thank you, texts out today. None of them eat much game and all of them enjoy there privacy. I got responses so they hit there mark.

I give out jerky, smokies, sausage and sometimes a roast. They appreciate it and remember who you are when you ask for permission.

Always a good idea to bring by some steaks or smokies and a nice bottle of some sort.
