How bout it Rickmur. I was bornand raised onthe shore and my family has been for generations. I even no plenty of landowners and farmers. Unfortunatly all the good landhas been sold and developed, sold and turned into rsa's for big money clients or is leased out to big money coming from across the bridge. Its a huge struggle for the native shoreman to find a place to hunt himself these days.

I had a nice spot. Myself and a couple others would do all the property maintenance, odds and ends and give the owner a little $$ every year. The property was sold and now the property owners uses it as a summer home and leases thehunting rightsfor such a high price we couldn't even imagine to get it. It was around 100 acres some woods a field or 2 on a creek with a crappyold house and sold for almost a million so buying it was out of the question. My friends andfamily now have touse public land or boat blind sites toget somehunting in. Very few have of our own spots anymore.

On a better note we did geta few ducks out of a blind site today. The ducks didn't fly real well but we got some early. Of course being goose isn't in yet we could not of beat them away with a stick. We could of easily gotten our limit a dozen times. We will see what happens next week its on for them too.
