We ask permission to hunt on of his track 180 acres 70+ acre field with creek and mountain on it. Ask to help him manage the coyote and deer we would not kill any bucks as he likes to hunt also. Trapping coons he was all about us getting them out of there. Killed a beaver he was very proud of that. Few years have passed great relationships with farmer we show him our kills,call/stop by and check on him when bad weather hit’s or we see him out. Give him a ham,gift fruit basket every year for Christmas. We now turkey hunt, he told us let our kids kill a buck if they wanted. We’ve offered to lease it nope y’all just hunt it. We now coyote hunt his pastures if we want. They are full of turkeys. We lucked out. Try it may work.
Sounds like good fellas taking care of another good fella
