This topic = drama, no way around it. I don't view you as an enemy, when it comes to hunting I'd bet we have more in common than we have differences. The recent SH bill did not include hunting with hounds so I can't figure out what the impact would be on deer dogging clubs.

As far as landowners and leases usually that means timber companies and farmers. Both groups make money off their leases through the actual price per acre and farmers make even more when you consider the impact an overpopulation of deer can have on their crops. I only mention that because as hunters we are paying lease rates and providing a service to these landowners. That makes us at least somewhat valuable to the landowner, especially considering the average price per acre has skyrocketed across the state in the last decade.

That being said, I have no problem with a landowner or property manager making the rules for their land. If one of those rules was no Sunday hunting then I'm sure the club or people leasing the land would comply if they wanted to keep the lease. In that scenario nothing would change except for a sentence or two in the lease, it would be business as usual for the landowner and the club.

But that landowner shouldn't be able to tell his neighbor what to do with his land.
