After Permission Granted

[hank4elk]

Not familiar with Montana, but New Mexico requires written permission of the landowner. Page 26 of the Hunting Regs states, "It is unlawful to enter upon any private property to hunt, capture, take, (blah blah blah) any game animal, without possessing written permission from the landowner or person in control of the land...………………... Licenses issued which have the Ranch name printed on them constitute written permission for that property, and no other permission is required."

I keep a file with the LO permission letters as I use them in off season too. Keep them currant too.

Hank, I need one of those letters with YOUR signature on it.

Short of BMA I have never had written permission in MT. I would be embarrassed to ask for it (not that I’ve received it very often).
As to a thank you gift, the coolest thing I saw a hunter give was a sweeping flyover photo of a friends ranch house, barns and creek with cattle in the fields. The most common complaint I’ve heard is people being brought along that weren’t discussed when the permission was given.
