RE: Large Corporations vs. Joe "Six Pack" Hunter
I cringe everytime I hear another story like this one. I live in IL, and it makes me sick to see deer hunting taking this route, going to the highest bidder. I hope it ends one day, and feel it will when farmers figure out that trophy hunters are doing nothing for the doe population, which will increase crop damage.
Just a thought, get a hold of the land owner, ask him for the contact name of the corporation, call them and see if they want local "guides" in the area that are intimately familiar with the land and will set up stands, etc, in exchange for the right to hunt when no "executives" are around. My guess, they love to be babied, and won't be around much anyway. Will probably jump at the chance to be "served".
