RE: Powerball Winner- Would you Fence?
 

I would start a program to help keep the sport thriving.from educating the youth to adults just getting into the sport , and as for the land i would do something the game commission should look into being that they charge enough for the license which is - take and fence it but make it a deer farmwith a habitat , such as foodplots and a pond or stream so that there healthy andwhen they reach the 3 antler or more on one side , age / they can release them into thegame lands or wild . i mean they do the same thing at fish hatcheries just on a smaller scale.

then i would supply conservitive hunter's andlogging companies with seedstoplant american chestnut trees /walnuttrees/ oak trees and such not to mention grape vines and berry bushes so that future generations will be able to seea hopefully larger healthier number of deer . why logging companies , because then they would be giving back from what they tookand possibly improve the habitat of thatarea .

im not greedy thereis plenty of land to hunt as far as keeping people out .but if everyone took care or helped take care , ofjust the ground where they hunted or shared there would be good habitat all over which in all would increase deer population which would make it better for future hunters

hunt safe and passthe sporton yall

I wouldnt fence it off. As a matter of fact I have a few parcels of land coming to me and my wife from her dad when he passes away, hopefully not anytime soon. 300 acres of prime hunting and ag land. One parcel of 40 acres may be leased to my wifes cousin, hes a good **** and a true sportsman. We plan on building a house in a few years on the main property on the hill. But no theres no way id ever fence it off.

If you won that much money you could easily afford to have somebody patrol it for you to keep trespassers at a minimum, the fence would be unnecessary.

RE: Powerball Winner- Would you Fence?
 

Nah, no fence. I'd just invite my HNI friends to come and hunt and we'd out number the poachers.

RE: Powerball Winner- Would you Fence?
 

No fence for me either. What I would do instead I would go to all the farmers around here that lease to our local outfitter and ask them to sell me there timber ground and give them a lifetime lease on the grass for there cattle. I would buy every inch of the ground she leases and leave her with the 400 acres that she owns. Then just maybe she would give up her crooked practice that she runs around here and move on to somewhere else. Nope there is no loveloss between the local hunters and this woman just alot of regret for befriending her and letting her screw the local bowhunters into submission. I would also give permission to almost everyone that asked to hunt it with the stipulation that if they are going to hunt it they would have to bring a kid with them so that we can pass the love of hunting down to the next generation. Of course I would get first dibs on which areas I would get to hunt along with Antler Eater. And if I was to catch this chick on any of my ground I would love that call to 911 to get the game warden out there to arrest this beotch because he doesn't care for her either. I will tell you guys the reason for mydislike for her if you want me too but I would have to start my own thread because it would be a long story.

I'd pull a Rambo! First I'd bait the whole area drawing in all the game. Then I'd set up land mines and claymores all around the perimiter. I might be so kind as to put up one or two "Posted" signs so IF anyone got killed I'd be able to say with a straight face "It was posted!"

Just kidding no fences for me.

This would be a mistake! If you're gonna spend the money on monster genetics you're gonna want to fence it in. If on the other hand you want to improve the natural genetics, improve the heck out of the core w/ habitat and food plots, feeding and supplements where legal and attract all the neighboring deer.

RE: Powerball Winner- Would you Fence?
 

You better believe I would buy a giant piece of land, but no chance in hell I would fence it. With the fence, you keep out just as much as you keep in. If I had a piece of land of that size, say 1000 acres, pretty tough for poachers to do any real damage. I may be way off here, but I don't see poachers as an army of people who descend upon newly purchased land and rape and pillage until all the game is gone. My experience has been isolated incidents. No doubt that poachers have killed plenty of deer, but it is something that I really don't stay up worrying about. I have faith in the local law and also I have faith in my ability to monitor my property in such a way that I know where activity occurs that is not of my doing. With 1 acre or 1000 acres, someone is going to be pissed that YOU have it and THEY don't.

Heck I'd Buy Maryland and post the borders! All the big bucks are in Maryland! They migrate up from N.C.
