Got out groundhoggin' yesterday

skinny, here on the other side of the grassy knoll, it is much the same with loosing land for shootin the pigs...a new house put a stop to a few good acres of these farms (neighbors)..but the farmers do understand my seed theory..I just keep them out of the main fields where they cause problems.(they know this keeps me around)..and wish you were here when I had to remove them from their barns,outbuildings,man house,gardens...like 125 in the first summer on the farm their son bought adjoining theirs..they had foundations falling in everywhere..I don't much care what others do where they hunt but is just something I put up with here on the 5 farms I tend to...along with the now and then field adjoining farmers need cleaned out..

the lesson I learned came from a guy I had 'help' me..(he is an X hunting friend for many reasons)..the least reason is as I took him to many a hunt spot of mine, I found out he goes to his private for him only farms on the other side of the knoll and won't even tell me where they are..so after bitchin at him for shooting his 338 around here (he says it digs into the ground and don't fly off)..right..and skyline, toward barns,buildings and even toward me, I told him to go to his private farms and clean them out..he said ' there are none to shoot and is a waste of time sitting there all day and not seeing any' .. this was food for thought to me and I did think...so, the seed thing only seems the way to go for me..I just have to keep him out....as he turned out to be a pee poor sportsman..his way of thinking is you will never kill them all but after sitting all day without a shot fired it only makes one think of the days when a box of ammo wasn't enough..I just have to leave seed..so far, even the young hunters can have fun there..and the farmers are happy.....I even been asked to remove them from the crators of the moon field the horses roam in on neighboring farms..now these ones, I eliminate as many as can because it is as you stated one of those places you just don't get to see very often......happy hunting...+ marks the spot....me, I 'm waiting for the seed to sprout.
