Today I get a call from my partner who was out there with our clients, he told me that the farmer was getting tired of the non-sense the outfitter was giving, paying him late (he is loaded with $$$$$), keeping the gates open allowing the cattle to get loose, also on Thursday before gun season is to start they can't hunt the other farms, we can bow hunt it and/or scout our choice. Well this year some of his guides came in to hunt themselves, we kicked them off. The farmer talked to the owner and more less feels he has the right to do what they did since he pays big money for this land, the farmer told him they have a written contract the spells it out. He didn't tell him he wasn't going to renew his lease next year, but I know he won't, he is a man of his word, and he loves that even in the summer we are out there (from New Jersey) to help out as much as we can. So now with what we have, and with this farm and at least one other farm we are getting, for sure we are set.
