This is how it went down. I brought my 4 yr old daughter with me when I went to visit the Alpaca farm. I started out by saying things like we drive by here all the time going to my hunting property and my daughter always wants to stop and pet one.

I asked the guy if she could, and he said she might get spit on, but we stood at the gates edge and looked. I was talking to the husband (non hippie) and explained that our properties adjoined each other and I pointed out to where one of my stands were. He goes on to tell me that his wife is an anti-hunter person and calls the game warden whenever she hears a shot nearby. Shes freaky about one of her alpacas getting a some stray lead.

So I point out the area that I was wondering if I could cut through in the mornings to get to my stand. He says he wont put anything in writing, and his wife doesnt get up in the morning until 8 or 9 AM, so she would never see me anyway. He says, "as long as you are just going to your land, I dont have a problem with it" Then he throws in, if she does see me, I will have to deal with her!

What does that tell you!
