RE: WV Hunting Lease???
Let me ask you a question,why did you buy the property ? If you bought the property with the intent on leasing it to hunters or as an investment,then you bought it for business purposes looking to turn a profit.If thats the case,don't whine about the expenses incured while running the business.Everbody that owns a business knows going in there are costs to running it,both seen and unforseen and it's part of it.If you bought it with the intention of hunting it yourself,then why are you leasing it to some one else to hunt ? Once again,you gotta expect circumstances to come up.I assure you given me permission to hunt on your property I would have gladly helped out with any chores that needed done as I have done many times in the areas I used to hunt.Alot of us out there work hard for their money(by the way I drive a 1997 ****** with 138,000 miles on it) but I'm not jealous about what others have like a new pickup or 4-wheeler and I sure as hell wouldn't expect some one to pay an outrageous amount of money just cause he has those things.My whole point was exactly what "eerdog" said,in the old days you could stop at almost any farm ,ask and get permission to hunt,maybe share some of the game,and nothing else was expected by either party.Any you probaly didn't see that guy again until next year but that's was o.k..Many a friendship was started that way and I still have those friends today.Nobody twisted your arm to buy the property,you did it because it was something you wanted,and you have the right to do with it whatever you want,but sometimes more is gained by an act of kindness and generosity than cashing the guys check one a year.
