Who gives the farmer/landowner/keeper etc a...

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Just wondering who gives the people who have gave you permission to hunt their land a bit of something at xmas to say thank you?

The reason i ask is because i was shopping with my mum and i bought a couple of bottles for the farmers and she said why, you are doing them the favour,i tried to explain that permission was hard to come by so it keeps the landowners sweet,but she still doesn't get it.

i would but as i shoot 9 farms and a few other bits of land is would cost me a arm and leg so i choose who gets what but i do favours for them in harvest season and that so i call it quits .

i get all of the 12 farmers whose land i hunt, a bottle at christmas, costs a good bit but at the end of the day i need to say thanks,

lose the permission and i'll have to take up knitting,

to all the boys helping on the farms, well done, worth loads more than a bottle, anyone not giving, wise up stop being so tight

Yes, its polite to do so. Its once a year, keeps them happy and close. None of the farmers want any game etc.

 

Another farmer i shoot for rears turkeys and ducks, so each year i buy a nice plump turkey, well this year we've gone for duck. I know my money goes to a good cause.

 

Everyones happy.

My Brother is Head Chef at a Hotel up the road a bit, so I'll be getting them vouchers for a meal with him. I used to do the Whiskey thing until I had a drink with one of them. He had two bottles unopened and had only had a tipple from the third. Turns out, just because their Farmers doesn't mean they drink Whiskey! At least this way they can choose from the menu what they want (and I get it cheaper).

As has been said, it would cost a damn sight more to have to pay for all the free food I get off their land.

i always drop in a bottle, i only have the one set of permission , dont want them to think i take it forgranted.

[bedrock 16]

I give sexual favours as a annual payment for my permission.
