Well folks,this sounds like the same ignorant crap that is going on in my county. I'm a rowcrop farmer andmy family has hunted our farms most of our lives. My operation was growing (renting more land to farm)and when I got a new property I asked the owner for the right to hunt also. After, aquiring several neighboring farms over the years, which 90% of them weren't hardly ever hunted by anyone and the one that did was leased by a well know hunting club, I decided to start outfitting. I went and told the landowners what I was doing and theythought it was a great idea especially since I was hunting it forfree and now I would be leasing the ground from them (a seperate hunting lease plus crop lease). Supplemental income doing what I love. Working in the outdoors and talkin huntin. BUT!! a friend of mine told me before I started that there would be several in the community that would "run me down" "badmouth me" and give me the ol' evil eye. Thought yea whatever, WRONG. The ground that I have to hunt wasn't even "taken away" from anyone else! But yet, since I put out the effort and came up with the idea to start a new business which doesnt even affect any other hunters in the county, I get this crap from a few redneck, jealous, lazy, can't get up the ambition to do something different, idiots. I think most of it is jealousy. They are stuck with a factory job or just a job in general that they hateand would love to do what I do. I am sorry boys thats just the way the cards have fallen.And I don't mean that egotistically either. They have the power to do something different if they are not happy.TIMES ARE CHANGING and if you are wanting to get your hands on or keep your hunting ground you had better get ready to fork over the money. It almost seems like these people think that its a sin to get paid to have someone come in and hunt his own property. Have I become an outdoor extortionist? Darn right. I'm extorting the ground by raising a crop and takin money for it and I'm extorting the hunting by selling a hunt. Get over it. Sorry so long.............just had to vent.
