If you know what the land manager like(i.e. guns or nice fishing stuff) get it and invite him over for a visit. After he sees the gun or whatever tell him it is his after you close on the easement. You need to keep your cool and not gripe off the person till you close on this. I have closed several deals with this method of horse trading. You need to get a good real estate lawyer if you buy property. Good luck.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.
