Your already behind the 8 ball. All your fears of the future are hear and then some. The some came in the form of anti hunters are already leasing land from under hunters. Heard about it last year in Maine, but hey Germ, the land owners got to eat also.[:@]
It all started because someone didn't want to share the land with others and they throw the land owner a bone. Bones aren't cutting it anymore.
I don't foresee me or mine having any problems finding happy hunting grounds though. Just need to be better hunters and neighbors. After all that's what were all about anyways.
I did not make the rules. There are some farmers who are struggling to get by. Leasing is here, I am not saying I like it, I just live with it. I am by no means rich, I have one hobby bowhunting. Farmers who want the deer killed, you may have to pay to hunt their ground, it is just the way it is.
It's not a rule nor do you have to live by it especially here in Ohio. There are numerous opportunities. I found 3 more yesterday, 2 public and one private. I've been given permission to hunt places I've never hunted yet. It's no rule!
Farmers and hunters work together. Farmers are farmers, if they can get someone to pay them to get rid of a headache... They're notstupid. They will take whatever the best deal is.
