ugh hunting season is here again

[screagle2]

IMO if you own enough property that people are asking you to hunt it then you have a lot to be grateful for. How about you turn them away nicely and go enjoy your property. Right now you're not acting much better than "city folk" who whine because there is no land to hunt. You're whining essentially because you have land. Comes with the territory, literally. Get over it. I can tell you right now if I had that much property I wouldn't be crying about the burdens that come with it.

So how would you react when your property is posted with HUNTING BY PERMISSION ONLY, not NO HUNTING! but asking for respect, and peeps ignore the signs, and will not take the time to contact you? If that doesn't bother you, then let us all know if you get some property, and we will all come over, uninvited and shoot at whatever we see......

I'm fairly certain you haven't sustained significant property damage by "hunters" who seem only capable of shooting stationary objects.....windmills, machinery, etc., etc...

Whining....... No, just telling you why you are losing access to tens of thousands of acres.

Think of it what you will, but the others attitude of asking and respecting, vs, yours of disrespect points towards the future of hunting private land.

BTW, If someone politely asks, we will do our best to allow them an area. If they have an attitude, nope.
I have not been able to draw a license to hunt MY land where I supply the habitat for both deer or antelope in 5 years, under the "landowner preference system"......Must mean there are not adequate numbers for anyone to responsibly hunt? Sound reasonable
