RE: WV Hunting Lease???
I not sure anyone called you greedy, a good business man yes, greedy don't think so. The point was made that this is completely frustrating when you are a working class father with a young boy or girl that you want to teach and enjoy the sport of hunting and you can't do that because there is no good ole boy asking at the front door anymore. The greedy part comes from the fact that everyone wants to have lots of money and the father teaching is young son or daughter can't afford it. that was the greedy part and the part of turning the hunting past time into a commercial industry everywhere.
now the Dog in the fight, have no idea what that is all about. Also, who caused the ruts in the field, and the cut in your fence? Also so you are saying then a guy needs to drive up to your door in his beat up, old bear hunting toyota to your door? You are saying that if a guy is driving a $40K truck and has a new Polaris in the back then he should pay?
I do own my own property and don't have anyone bothering my property with cutting the fence, or rutting up the fields. Cause I will blow a hole in 4 tires, but hey you come and ask me if you can hunt on my property and I will look you over, tell you what will and won't happen and then after that I will decide. Just me though, I think that is a good business move, it just sucks that everyone thinks that is what should happen.
