Gifts for permission owners?

[Stretch177 39]

Do any of you give anything to your permissions owner/s at christmas? Got talking about this at work today and it was mixed, with a few saying yes and a few saying no. I do personally, just a bottle of whisky/rum/brandy, just to show a bit of appreciation, as lets be honest, they don't have to let you on their land and i am greatful for them doing so, as it allows me to do what i love. Any of you do the same, as one lad couldn't get his head around it and thought i was daft?

whisky, wine and chocy's costs a small fortune but well worth it

Thought this would be the general consensus and i find it only helps you in the long run. Might seem trivial at the time, but i have gained permission from one of my farmers speaking about me down the pub.

me and a mate years ago used to give a bottle of whisky and a box of cartridges to the farmers that shot for crows etc, cost a small fortune but shows your gratitude.

 

A month after one christmas, one farm, owned by two brothers were in the news, they had fallen out, one shot the other, then shot himself....with a shotgun...never went back for a long time after that !!...moral of this story......give em chocolates or whisky, .they can only make themselves sick then.

Yep a few bottles go around, small cost really in the grand scheme of things.

they get nothing off me.. i do them a favour taking there rabbits just as much as they do letting me take them... that will do just fine in my book:)
