Send him a letter and include a pic of you and your deer. Tell him how much you appreciate the opportunity to hunt his land and what it means to you. Then, to show your appreciation, tell him you'd be willing to clean up the property if he didn't mind.

I believe that this would show your appreciation better than a simple thank-you card because you took the time to compose the letter. It's more personal.
Greg hit it on the nuts! I would go this route if I was you.

I know this guy has 2 houses and I know FL(possibly more)and with it being winter im going to assume he is in Florida, and hope he has a foward in, which he probably does.So finding him at his residence right now would be very tricky, so i think the letter would be best, i actually already bought the "thankyou" card... ABlank one. can i do my composing on this or do i need to set it to the side and go to a blank piece of paper?

Either one's fine, Aaron. Hand-written is the key.

Good luck.....and I wasn't saying Greg's advice wasn't good (quite the opposite, actually). What I was saying is....I think we would be VERY wise to keep photos of dead animals away from people that we aren't sure share our outlook on hunting.

Why take the chance? That's all I meant.

When someone gives you permission to hunt, I'm pretty sure that they know what to expect. To see the happiness they have allowed some one to have usually makes them happy as well.

I agree. The photo of dead deer might not be the best choice. It is possible his wife or kidssees the pics and it has a negative impact on them. It's also possible a friend or neighbor sees the pic and realizes you've harvested a trophy,theymay then want the spot andyou get booted. A handwritten card would suffice for a long distance contact. A personal visit and gift works great for a local landowner. In any case any thanks is better than none.

Personally, I believe that you should:
1. Send him a hand written note thanking him for giving you permission to hunt his land;
2. Ask him when he'll be in the area because you'd really like to meet him;
3. Offer your services to watch his property any time he is away to include non-hunting periods;
4. When you do meet him, a sincere and hearty hand shake for giving you this priviledge; and
5. Then put him on your Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and every other list to send him a card.
