[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 1562258, member: 108138"] Being from Texas, I have no experience with public land. Everything is private, and like KyCarl, I don’t allow hunting on my land. I used to, but a guy can only take so much. The hunters around here only want something for free, and have no respect for your property. I’ve experienced fences being destroyed, gates left open for cattle to get out on major public highways or for two separate groups to get mixed and needing sorted, trash galore, ruts left the mud when they had no business driving in in the first place. I could go on ad nauseum. Bird hunters leave piles of spent shells. You know, that plastic is still around years later for cattle to pick up, chew, and choke on. People ask to hunt hogs and are told no deer hunting, then shoot the buck you’ve watched grow from a baby into a mature 12 point. It’s just not worth it to me. The careless action of hunters, in the process of entertaining themselves, doubles my workload of trying to make a living. So now when I get a phone call or a knock on my door, the answer is a quick and resounding NO. I hate to be that way, but it’s the world we live in. [/QUOTE]
