I give the landowners sausage, a Christmas gift and offer to help do chores. To be honest I've found that the landowners I hunt want to be visited more than anything else. But I don't have it exclusively to myself any longer.....a guy started renting a house from the one a few years ago and hunts too.

You are right about it not being easy finding new land and sometimes keeping what you have to hunt. Land changing hands, daughters getting married to a hunter, etc. is making it tough.
