Dave,
Be careful how hard you push, unless the land-owner is willing to push with you, you may end up the odd man out, and looking for a new place to hunt. I've seen that happen a few times. 11 guys giving a landowner grief vs. 1 Nice guy who wouldn't give him any grief is sometimes and easy decision to make, even if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You GW seems like a pretty nice guy, I called and talked with him about a month ago, regarding a deer I killed up there, hopefully he can guide you, but be cautious, I'd hate to hear you telling us about a nice piece of land you USED to hunt.

You've got PM also....
