Changing Times

The last guy we caught poaching on our land was a Game Warden. We took his deer and kicked him out!

"miser" who won't let you "hunt" on his private property, consider starting. And pick up your soda cans, snuff cans, shotgun hulls, beef jerky wrappers, etc.

I had a 240 ac.farm back east,all of the above.
The last straw was the shooting of beer bottles
off fence posts.And waking me up at 4 am saturday morning
with there loud junk trucks.

Times ARE a-changin'. Why I remember back when guys would actually ask before they decided to trespass on my land and hunt while I'm working. I remember when the pond that the rest of the world fishes in wasn't there, because I hadn't dug it yet, and the fish weren't in it, because I hadn't yet bought them and put them there.

If you want to hunt on my place, what's in it for me? Are you going to bring me some produce form your garden? Maybe share some of the fish that you caught out of my pond? Bring me a few of the ducks you decided to waste because you're too lazy to clean them? Don't believe in sharing? Well, my land is my investment. What your investment, and how do you share your investment with me in return for me sharing mine with you? Guitar lessons for the kiddos? Math tutoring? How about inviting me and my family over to your house for supper - you know, since you've gotten all the benefits of owning my land without any of the burdens? If you don't do any of those for the "miser" who won't let you "hunt" on his private property, consider starting. And pick up your soda cans, snuff cans, shotgun hulls, beef jerky wrappers, etc.

In case you can't tell, I definitely have an axe to grind. I don't mind sharing as long as I'm asked - not ordered, and I should be asked BEFORE, not AFTER you've decided to help yourself to anything of mine.

God bless America

Very good points and easily remedied by being courteous, respectful and generous. Something that was probably lacking in the upbringing of your "hunters".
I hunt with my brothers and close friends and we give a lot of what we kill to the land owners, farmers, farm managers and farm hands. We take the deer to the butcher, get it processed and wrapped and then give it away. The venison bacon, sweet lebanon baloney, sweet and hot sticks and dried venison are the big favorites. Never been told "Don't come back".
