preacherman Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have an older gentleman who has invited me to hunt with him all year this year. I have gone several times, with his permission, even when he is not home. He showed me a rifle that he had where the sling had broken. I went and bought him a nice leather rifle sling, sorta like the one he had and gave it to him. I have always lended him a hand with anything that he has needed done. I have always called him and thanked him for letting me hunt with him or went by and spent a little time with him, thanking him. But my question is, I have been wanting to do a little something more for him for letting me hunt with him. What would you recommend a good thing? A gift certificate to one of his favorite resturants or something else? Please give me insight on what might be a good thing and might leave a good taste in his mouth. Money is kind of tight around our house right now because of taxes. We are "self employed" so we have to pay quite a bit every year; but I do want to do something for him. Suggestions? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Why don't you invite him over for a nice dinner! Maybe he just wants to sit down and chat for a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerngirl Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'd do a nice home cooked dinner! A mean anyone can buy a gift certificate but if you can throw down a good home cooked meal, you can't buy that anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Why don't you invite him over for a nice dinner! Maybe he just wants to sit down and chat for a bit! Now there's a great idea. You don't want to smother him with gifts either. The Gun belt was a great gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie65 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Inviting him over for dinner sounds like a great idea to me. Dinner,a movie & some conversation might be something he would really like. If you don't want to do that maybe take him out to dinner.

Tominator Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 The best gift you can give someone is your time. Jeff Yep, I agree with this. In the past I've offered to help with chores or cleaning up the property. I will also give landowners about all the fresh produce they can handle in the summertime. Another thing I do is send them a box of Cheryl cookies or some steaks from Omaha or this year, by request, I think I'll be sending one landowner Allen Brothers steaks. http://www.allenbrothers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kid Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 ya i like the idea of having hm come over for dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Scott, just my 2 cents...I do things for my pastor, simply because I respect the man he is and the job he does for the community and God's kingdom. I never expect, nor would I ever accept anything in return for my service. I don't know if that's a great explanation, but it's possible that your friend is doing the same thing. He probably appreciates your time more than any gift you could give him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Got to agree with Orlan here too. Think home cooked meal is a great idea. Yes, yes, yes! Plus feed him some venison you got off his piece!! That is how I thank one landowner I hunt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I say be his friend and invite him over for a big dinner but also invite him over for small dinners or just to chat or whatever. Friendship is more valuable than anything you can buy him. Friends never feel like they deserve anything but always like they would give anything just for being a friend. Be as good a friend to him as he has been to you and that you can never repay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
