well all, heres the news. went and saw the land. the man said he needs someone to help cut up some fire wood and they can hunt. but, he said he talked to me and another man he met, and he is going to make his decision in a week or so (im not sure what the decision is based on (maybe how many muscles we both have lol, or maybe just personality) but thats what he said. so far so good for the most part. he then shows me around his 50 acre farm, we talk about some things, he shows me where he killed a deer or so. i then ask about bowhunting (which is something i plan to do alot of this year, i mean alot) and he says "i dont bowhunt here b/c too many deer get maimed", which is where my heart missed a beat lol. i cant really see his point, a gun can maime an animal also, but its his land, his hunting ways. so i would only be able to gun hunt. i guess if he calls me i will cut the wood and have a definte place for gun hunting this year, but i was really disapointed about not being able to bow hunt. im gonna still look for another piece of land and hopefully find somewhere that allows both (like most people i would think). also, i feel like i wouldnt be able to make any changes to his land. he already has stands, feeders and all, which is great, but i kind of wanted somewhere that i can do things my own way so i feel a little more proud when i killa deer, that i did it and i wasnt jus sitting in this guys stands. i dont know, so thats the story, i guess he will be calling me this week and tell me. i hope i get it, but if not i wont be that depressed lol. i also saw alot of other farms around him which i will go this weekend and knock on their doors to see if they would lease. when i left his farm, i knocked on about 10 and they all either said "we have family who hunts", or "its already leased" so i guess its just a number game and getting lucky. also, this man got my ad from a newspaper, where i said "lease" land, and he just wants me to do some work - which is cool - but i honeslty would rather pay some money and be able to hunt how i want, with what weapon i want, in the stand that i hung. but either way, maybe i will have a place to gun hunt, but i really dont know why he doesnt allow bows. so thats the scoup, sorry for the long post, just thought i would share.
