As far as the dog thing goes, just don’t go at it with they “hey I spendt allot of money” scenario and now you need to cater to me conversation. That won’t build bridges. I have actually had out of state leasees neighbors mention to me how much money they spend while accusing me of something I didn’t do. It gets you nowhere in the conversation. Honestly nobody cares how much money you spent. Respect for locals goes a long way towards building relationships. Especially those of us that live and hunt on our land.
