RE: hunting land how to
 

Hi,
As someone who has lived in the country (Catskills) for most of my life, a gift certificate to a restaurant in my opinion would come across as a blatant bribe, and who knows what particular type of wine or whiskey they like, if any? Even if they bake, a homemade pie is the nice, neighborly, friendly thing to do and will get you a long ways towards friendship with country people, trust me. You could always buy one from a good bakery and it would have the same effect. How about one of those NY cheesecakes!

Which is what you want, to come across as a nice guy or woman who they would feel happy to deal with and have on their land, not a city hunter looking to bribe them off so he can use their property. Of course everyone' s different, that' s just my respectful opinion from experience!

Good Luck,
Mark

I forgot to put in the last post:

Offering to share some of the venison is an excellent idea, and just might tip the scales in your favor. The landowner gets extra venison without having to lift a finger. You' d be surprised how many people, even in the country, don' t like venison though. Usually stems from having freezer burned, improperly shot or hung, or badly cooked meat just once or twice and they' re turned off for life.

If you lived by me this would work.

Knock on door....Hi Mr Landowner, I have a problem....you see I have all this beer and nobody to drink it.;)

I don' t know about bribery.....but reward their generosity with some of your own.

Last year I got a NICE farm. By pure luck. I stumbled on some information, called and spoke to the owners. Was granted permission....Picture perfect.

Didn' t score, but saw a LOT of nice deer, and enjoyed my hunts tremendously.

Anyhow, Christmas last year they got a nice card, and a box of my wifes homemade holiday goodies.

In reply I got a card thanking me, and telling me how much they appreciated having a responsible hunter on their property.

Called them last month, and I am welcomed back with open arms this year.

Couldn' t ask for a sweeter deal, or nicer people.

Good luck.
