Seems we hear more and more about guys loosing land to hunt and not gaining. I wonder if that is the way things are to come and another downfall for hunters.

I wonder about my honey hole at times. I love this spot, I've hunted it since before I was of age. I grew up there and I know at any time it could be taken away from me. I know I could take game on my own land but it would be difficult and a chance in the wind. That is one reason I tried to buy an adjoining 37 acres I know I could have taken game on easily and have taken or been repondsible for taking 4 gobblers there this past spring. Deer are abundant as well as bear. I can hunt it now even tho I missed by a couple hundred dollars and my elderly neighbor ended up with it to keep it the same. That's fine with me until he passes on, then what. I've already talked with him about it and we have terms to discuss.

Good Luck DaveH, seems things tend to work themselves out and what goes around, comes around. Keep the chin up and good luck this season.
