It seems like paid hunting is growing and several places I use to hunt now has paid hunters coming so I am out of luck except for doe there after buck season. I hunt public land a lot but that's getting more crowded and I hate hunting where someone else is hunting. Well I started asking around and was delighted when early this summer I got permission to hunt a 10,000 acre farm , actually rangeland . Then I was able to get permission to hunt 3 more new farms within the last week. All I did was set around and drink coffee and talk to them. So it was as easy as asking. Saturday starts rifle season so the scope is on the mountaineer. No time to scout but I look forward to hunting in some new areas
