The period is a very useful form of punctuation when writing. I am not bashing on you, because I know this isn't Grammer class. But it will make your posts easier to read, and people will tend to take you a bit more serious.

Send the nice lady a thank you / X-Mas card or even a small gift thanking her for allowing you access to recover your deer. After the hunting season follow up with her concerning your wants. Best of luck with this honey hole.

Don't make a trip over there to thank her and ask at that time, instead take her some deer sausage, etc. and thank her. While there just get to know her better and let her do most of the talking. Many times they will let slip something that needs to be done or they just want someone to lend an ear. Wait a few days or a couple of weeks and strike up another conversation and if she is in the mood, you might seek permission at that time. If its unhunted and a deer paradise there is a reason. Kid gloves needed for this one!

If it is an old lady by herself, she could definitely use some yard work or work around the house in exchange for a hunt or two. That is what I would offer her and she couldn't refuse!

This aint a gun in my pocket and Im sure glad to see you.
LMAO. Well she is a looker for mid 40's!I'm liking all the ideas and input. I think a follow up thank you for letting me track the deer on your land is a good idea. I'll bring her a couple summer sausages, offer to be the son she never had, and see where the conversation leads. Thanks for the advice.
