Gosh this is really getting people fired up and I'd sure let everyone know my opinion as well. First off I hunt the family farm here in Nebraska and there is no public ground boardering any of it. However from my experience of the public ground around the area I really find myself leaning towards not letting anyone on our ground. As mentioned many times already there have been plenty of idiots that have just completely ruined for the honest hunter. I've just gotten to the point where I post all our ground with no trespassing signs heavily and if I catch anyone shooting off road, etc. THEIR DONE. I don't mean this like a hard a$$ I'm just so sick and tired of poachers and road hunters. However if an honest person came up and honestly shot it on public ground and not across the fence on mine then I would be happy to go look for the deer for them.
Its unfortunate that unhonest people have ruined it for honest people in my opinion. Can't trust anyone anymore seems like and thats not the way the sport should be however it is. Had a 199 inch non typical shot off the road on our property and it ran on to neighbors property and died. Neighbors didnt want to charge them with anything and wasnt much I could do. DISGUSTING!!! Nough said. makes me mad as heck just thinking about it so to all you road hunters.............well use your imagination at what I'd like to say. See this thread really got some peoples blood pumpin. Nice
