X 10 I know things are alot different down there, but i just about have to pay to hunt hogs, cause i have to drive so far to get to any. but is worth every penny of it!  Everybody could probly use a few extra $$, and i have often dreamed of makin a livin doin what i love, and that is huntin with dogs. I cant say exactly what i would do because its not me in your shoes, but i think you might be better off telling him that just gettin to hunt his place is payment enough ;)JMO

Hard to ask for money when the man gives you total access to his land. As stated in other posts, I've had landowners offer to pay for feed, fuel, and vet bills. That in itself is enough payment for me. Combine that with agreement on lettin me haul the hogs out alive to sell and thats fair enough. Now with that being said, there was a time when catchin hogs was what I did for a living. I had private landowners as well as ranches pay me decent money to help keep their hog numbers in check. I treated that as a full time job, huntin five days and nights a week and was happy to receive payment for my services.

All good advice, although I have never been paid by landowners.  I have had fuel$ given to me a few time by gracious landowners.  I once was even given a warm plate of cookies:) which was very much appreciated on the drive home.  With all that said, I do sell a few hunts a year to help with food bills, vet, dogs etc...  But its just by word of mouth when someone calls and I'm in the mood.  Because like Mike and a few others have stated, when there is $ invovled its turns into a job!  I enjoy dogging, and that is why we do it;)

Well I took ya'lls advice and called the farmer today and told him that I didn't feel right about charging him to hunt. I told him that if he was going to do something for me that was up to him but I just appreciate him letting me hunt and will continue to do so, that it isn't about the money. He just said that he really appreciated me helping to save his crop and that he would be in touch. I feel good leaving it this way. Thanks for all the opinions and advice.

Good deal.   Hopefully it's the beginning of a long relationship.

We have been doing bussiness for a couple of years now, I sell him any excess grass that I don't want to bale. He chops it for sileage and I always let him set the price according to the quality of the grass and milk prices. He is always more than fair I feel and a good guy all around as far as I can tell.

Man that is the best way to handle it! IMO.  A good honest and trustworthy relationship with landowners is better than $. Good luck with many more hogs to catch in his fields;)
