[QUOTE="Maddog, post: 244187, member: 5355"] Several years back a friend of mine got us permission to turkey hunt on a farmer's land that had never been hunted for turkeys. The first morning we both shot monster toms. The next year I talked the farmer into buying a tag and taking time off from farming to hunt. We finally got together one afternoon when he could take off from working and I called in a pair of gobblers as a flock exited the field. He shot one. The next year he applied for a tag again. Before the season started, I showed up with a ground blind, a pair of decoys, a slate call and a ground chair for him. He hunted by himself and got his own bird. That was several years ago and each year he has been lucky enough to get out and get his own bird. I have stopped by with home-made sauerkraut and smoked/shaved turkey breasts for him too. Perhaps a little overboard. ?? Or even simpler: Other landowners I try to make a point of stopping in during the dead of winter. Just to visit and talk with them. They really enjoy the company. And I enjoy hearing their stories and what they have been seeing on their property during the winter months. One of my favorite duck hunting spots, I stop in with either some summer sausages or a 12 pack of beer. And make sure I have time to sit and shoot the breeze with them. They all seem to appreciate someone taking the time to talk and visit VS just a quick phone call. [/QUOTE]
