i hunt on quite a few different properties with different landowners i was thinking about getting them wild game sausage and cheese and crackers dont know the landowners too terribly well so looking to get some ideas from yall thanks
 
Any gift is appreciated. I have lots of landowners, so I send cards with a personal written thank you. I get lots of feedback for taking the time to wish them a Merry Christmas and say thanks.

I usually know from visiting with them which ones like game and don't get a chance to hunt, or fish.

Again it's the effort that is appreciated.
 
It is too late for this year but I read about guys having some of the less desirable colored hides tanned and giving them to the wives of their landowners for Christmas. Read that they get invited in for all kinds of stuff after that.

I don't know if my wife would like getting a tanned hide for christmas... Anyway, I think anything is a nice gesture. It's really the time and thought that counts.
 
I give one farmer a cherry pie for his birthday each year (from Perkins). It's his favorite. Others I give deer jerky.
 
I'm from a commercial fishing family, I'll tell ya' cooked dungeness crab, or smoked sockeye... makes an impression! Just do what you can, the effort will be appreciated!
 
I agree with Rainshadow1! Crab goes a long way. So do clams and oysters. I have seen some big smiles when I open the cooler to give em any of these. If I had a small refrigerated truck I would be hunting deer and elk in Montana!
 
Try to get to know the landowner a bit before you give them a gift. One rancher I know loves his HMR for killing barnyard pests, so I always buy him some HMR ammo. I know several ranchers who wouldn't eat wild game if they were starving, while others love it. You really can't go wrong with a gift certificate.
 
I always gave out a fruit basket,or a ham ,though I do like the gift card idea. It seemed to me that they enjoy getting something that their families can enjoy. I also try to stop in the off season and see if I can be of some help to them

The help in the offseason usually leads to a great friendship and is always appreciated by the ranchers around here. Something as simple a showing up for a day of branding can ensure your welcome to hunt for a long time to come.
 
Spring fence building!!! 3 1/2 miles down, 23 miles to go - LOL!!! Really, guys, a heartfelt THANK YOU is enough for me! Besides I LOVE seeing dead yotes, and live calves!

I here ya LWILLIAMS... give them a day a labor and you've made a friend in our part of the woods.

Day in the saddle or throwing calves at branding time... it takes little effort and goes a long ways in their eyes.

Keep in the middle,
