RE: Hunting land question
Never put all your eggs in one basket. Let the thing be untill he says no more or you decide to move on. In the mean time find more land to hunt on. Do the best you can to show the man how thankful you are for the privilage and when it's over you can look him in the eye anywhere you may meet him in the future and talk as friends. That's the most important thing. I wouldn't doubt it if he will have regretted, in some way, the way things turned out and tries to make it up, with out the slightest mention of cash just because he respects and trust's you. Keep the relationship pure and simple, don't try and manipulate the man and when it's over you've done your best and have nothing to regret.
