Ultradog Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I own a rental house on the property where I hunt. Good tenant, has a good job (ER room nurse) always on time with the rent, etc, etc. Nice fellow to boot. So MN, along with much of the country, has had a pretty severe winter this year. Bitter cold, lots of snow. Just the right recipe to devastate our already too small deer herd. - we only got away from doe permits a couple of years ago - never had bonus deer there. Probably back to bucks only again this year. Anyway, I got an email from him yesterday. Most of it was denouncing the propane company up there for price gouging. But then he says oh yah, the house is in good shape and all is well. Then he writes how he has been feeding the deer all winter. Says he's fed them fourty 50 lb bags of corn - a ton - so far and a bunch? of bales of alfalfa. All out of his own pocket. He said he's got about 15 deer in the yard on a regular basis. Two of them pretty good size. Then he closes by saying he's doing his best to insure I get my deer this year and oh yeah, he likes watching them from the window too. I'm thinking I might call up the local burger and beer joint where he frequents and pay something in advance on a bar tab for him. Gotta show a little appreciation for a tennant like that.

dbHunterNY Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 my parent's used to own rental properties. good tenants are tough to find and hard to keep. many eventually upgrade to owning something themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Man, you've got a good one there. He's went way above and beyond. I would say a nice dinner and a few beers are well deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKstate Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 That's definitely a rare tenant to have. Hope he sticks around!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks fellas. He's about 60 so looking at just a few more years of working before he can quit and move back to MO where he's originally from. I'm hoping he stays till then. I wont be up there till early May when I plow the gardens for my family and my deer plots. But I'll do something for him then.
