I hunt on two ranches close to home for whitetail & mule deer. Both ranchers have given me verbal permission to hunt there land anytime. Last year before season started, I again confirmed permission with both ranchers. I gave both rancher a 4"x6"-card.
The card had all of my personal information on it. License plate number, truck color, hunting license number, home telephone number, physical address & mailing address. I could be wrong but I think they both like having this information? They both know they can reach me if there is a problem.

Wolf,
Yea think that they both like it? I guarantee you they both love it!
It is funny because I saw a post, in another thread, by a Moderator from Bakersfield, about how tough it is to find a place to hunt around here. It got a little chuckle out of me because I have permission to hunt about 5 ranches within 90 minutes of Bakersfield and just over a dozen total ranches along the central coast. The most that any of these ranches costs me to hunt is about 20lbs of bulk breakfast sausage every year or a lunch in Paso Robles.
I believe that one of the keys to me getting permission to hunt of these ranches is a simple hunting permission agreement (a lawyer buddy drew it up) that protects me and, moreso, protects the landowner with a waiver of rights.
The agreement cleary states the following:
1) My Name
2) My Address
3) My Home and Cell Phone
4) My Vehicle Make, Model & License
5) My Hunting License #
6) Landowner's Name
7) Landowner's Address
8) Landowner's Home and Cell Phone
9) Ranch Name
10) Ranch Location
11) The Dates for which the Permission is valid
12) The Species for which the Permission is valid
I was pretty amazed at how quickly I got permission to hunt on some really good ranches.
Anyway,
SA
