I guess I'm the sucker that friends call upon when their mothers roof is leaking or their sister needs a couch or refrigerator moved. But of all my buddies who have a wall full of nice mounts, none would ever let me into any of their spots; not even offer a lead. Well by way of persistence I recently gained access to a 65 acre farm only five minutes from my front door. I've posted the property for the old couple who own it, blocked entry trails that atv riders have made into their fields, and offered my service(I am a carpenter) to them if ever needed. I've recently moved to this area and have made a few new friends, but I just don't think I'm a big enough person to hand over what I've worked damn hard for without being sure the person is worth it. And please don't judge me because there is NOT alot of land in suburban NY or people willing to let you hunt it, at least not enough to accomodate the ammount of bowhunters. And I've said it before "In NY, it's not what you know, more often it's WHO you know">sad but true. That said I am always trying to be an ambassador to the sport and recruit new people to our ranks. But like somebody said already and I agree, What are you teaching someone by doing all the grunt work and putting them in a stand so they can shoot a nice buck their first time out. I think that kind of sacrifice will probably be reserved for if I ever have a child.
