Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirty" data-source="post: 335279" data-attributes="member: 6535">I don’t think some people understand what a blessing it is to meet a landowner who lets you hunt on THEIR land. They don’t have to let anyone on ever if they don't want to. Thanking them afterwards is as important if not more important than thanking them up front. I had a big long talk with my daughter last weekend after she shot her turkeys. It was the first thing we did after the hunt and although I had already thanked the guy over the phone, we drove to his place and I had her walk up and do the same. I talked to her about how limited access is and how you can set yourself apart from other hunters by being courteous enough to follow up when you actually do find a place to hunt. I told her how I’ve made lifelong friends simply by asking permission from a stranger and thanking them afterwards for their kindness. I told her how some landowners basically set their land aside for me and only me because of this approach. I also told her it’s just simply the right thing to do. Someone was kind to you…go out of your way to make sure they know it was appreciated. And if they want to sit and BS for awhile, you better pull up a chair and get to know them. I’m guessing some guys and gals don’t get to hear this talk and thus it sadly never crosses their mind. If my dad hadn’t had the talk with me, I probably wouldn’t have thought to have the same discussion with my daughter.</blockquote>
