I've worked for the same farmer for 5 years, and I love the fact that I get work the ground on some of the same places I hunt. Ive been cutting wheat the past 2 weeks and just a couple days ago my boss whopped a turkey on the head with the reel of his header. He wasn't slowing down. Farmers haveajob to do, and that is all that is on their mind. Even ifthis guyisabig hunter, Ill bet wildlife comes second to getting the crops out of the field. Thats just a part of the business, really. Ive noticed tons of spots in the wheat where deer and other animals have been bedding down in it. We mowed right over them.

Honestly, If he saw a fawn in the hay, he could probably stop for it. But usually I doubt he notices it, andI doubt he wants to eat one up.Turkey nest? I doubt a farmer can justify leaving part of his crop standing in the fieldfor a bird nest. JMO.

I dont want to sound like Im against you, cuz I can definatly see where your coming from. I often think just how much better the hunting could be on some of my places just from very little effort from the farmers, but thats not what they are thinking about and its something we have to deal with. Just trying to throw in the farmers perspective.

Good luck with this guy. I hope yall can figure something so its works for both of you.
