RE: The secret to gaining permission
Yep, it was bitter. Sorry. But, here, the more you give, the more they take. Tried being nice and let a few folks hunt. It ended up being nothing but trouble. Not following what we say is the big thing. When we say, "stay on the road" we mean stay on the road. I have been peppered with shot in my own yard. I just can't risk it anymore. Honesty and integrity are hard to come by here. It didn't use to be like this. We used to let people fish too. Calling the vet to have fishing line removed from calves, and trash everywhere like they had a party stopped that. We let a close freind hunt one farm this year....said he wanted does. WE said no problem. So far he's taken 4 bucks and no does. We just gave up. I know there are good hunters with good ethics out there......apologies to everyone.
