WELL BSLAYER..........I HAVE BEEN REAL LUCKY IN GETTING ON SOME GREAT RANCHES, AND THE CATTLE PEOPLE ARE SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS I HAVE TODAY.
SOME USEFUL INFO...LET THE OWNERS KNOW WHO YOU ARE/ LET THEM MEET YOUR FAMILY, TELL THEM WHO YOU WORK FOR, MOST FOLKS/OWNERS DONT WANT STRANGERS ON THE PROPERTY. BE FRIENDLY !!!!
BE RANCH BROKE....LEAVE GATES LIKE YOU FIND THEM, DONT LITTER, DONT TEAR UP THE PLACE WITH YOUR 4WD, REPORT THINGS THAT ARE NOT RIGHT.....FENCE DOWN, CATTLE OUT, POSSIBLE POACHERS, & SICK CATTLE. FOLLOW ALL GAME LAWS, NO OWNER LIKES AN OUTLAW.
ALWAYS OFFER HARVESTED GAME TO TO OWNERS, AND I ALWAYS VOLUNTEER TO DO SOME WORK AROUND THE RANCH.
THE MOST IMPORTANT: HUNT BY YOURSELF/YOUR BUDDIES WILL JUST GET YOU INTO TROUBLE & ALWAYS CALL AHEAD FOR DAILY PERMISSION. MY AGREEMENT IS THAT I ONLY HUNT MON - FRIDAY, SAT & SUN IS FAMILY TIME FOR THEM & ME AS WELL.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY LIKE......GIFT CARDS TO RESTAURANTS,CANDY AT CHRISTMAS, & WE GO TO LUNCH AT A NEAR BY CAFE OFTEN. BE A GIVER/ NOT JUST A TAKER.
OH.....AND DONT ACCIDENTLY POP A MOO COW.....I DOES HAPPEN !!!!
THIS WORKS WELL....I HAVE HUNTED SOME OF THESE RANCHES SINCE 1987...........HAPPY NEW YEAR.................YD.
