Become familiar with bound- aries of the land you have per- mission to hunt, surrounding properties, and adjacent recre- ation areas, farms, and active logging operations.
Do not hunt near buildings, livestock, active logging opera- tions, or hiking trails.
Make an effort to express your appreciation to the land- owner. Follow up with a note of thanks, a small token of appreci-
ation, or offer up assistance with a task or chore. Your ongoing communication with landown- ers makes a world of difference.

Tips for Turkey Hunters on Building Good Landowner Relations
Community
Spring turkey season (May 1–31) is only 4 weeks away, and hunters on a quest for gobblers can do a lot to help promote positive landowner relations, according to Mark Beauchesne, Landowner Relations Coordi- nator for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “Remember that access to pri- vate land is a privilege provided through the generosity of the landowner,” said Beauchesne. “With more than 70% of New Hampshire’s land in private ownership, practicing good landowner relations is key to maintaining access to private property now and for future generations.”
Here are some tips:
Even if you had landowner permission to hunt last year, check back in with property owners to discuss the spring hunting season dates and to
make sure nothing has changed over the winter.
Demonstrate good land- owner relations in front of youth before, during, and after youth turkey-hunting weekend, April 26 and 27. Ask permission and follow landowner requests.
Remember that you are the guest of the landowner. Treat their property with the same care and respect that you would
if it were your own.
Never park on lawns or block
roadways, trails, crossings, or gates. Leave all gates and barri- ers as you found them.
Written landowner per- mission is needed to drive an OHRV on private property. If you are granted permission, un- derstand clearly where you are allowed to drive and carry proof of permission on your person.
