Which is a good way to thank a landowner who lets you hunt?

Give back, like sharing processed meat or helping with chores.

  1. Share some processed game meat or help fix fences ✔
  2. Bring more friends next time
  3. Leave your stand up year round

Why: Hunter education suggests asking the landowner what you can give back. Sharing meat, helping with fences or buildings, and picking up trash all build good relationships.

Huh, didn't know that: Ask the landowner whether gates should be left open or closed. Leaving gates wrong is a classic slob-hunter mistake.

The dad joke
Why did the fence love the hunter? He always mended things.
