How expensive can hunting get

[skeeter@ccia.com]

Hawkeye..answer...and is answer to lots of the problems in this world today...GREED....HURRAY FOR ME AND F!!! YOU....This is the phrase a friend of mine told me he was told by his grandmother. I had to keep reminding when the I was acting more like a D. Sad thing is, he ended up living that line and no longer is a good friend or hunting partner. I don't know how old most of you are but believe me the older you get the more space you loose for hunting...I lost 13 of my spots in just one year due to housing, roads or just the 'keep out ..MINE' thing...one guy even named his driveway as "my lane"....As I drive over pothole given roads to another hunting spot this year to scout, I find out they are putting in another road there also...and yep the Keep out signs go with it...Where I shot my 8pt last year was sold and the new owner has signs already there...boo.. If you want to get that tract of land you better get it now because #1..they don't make any more and #2 the price just goes up... There is nothing we can do to stop greed. Not without ending up behind bars anyhow..I think we that watch those outdoor shows with the fancy pants and high $$ hunts are supporting their need to lease our land..is their job to film....I do not watch them anymore....I don't belong to their programs or buy their magazines...or display their bumper stickers that show I belong to their organization..Is my way of doing something..but there are those that just don't get the point...Another problem we have mostly in the NE pa area as I go there bear hunting (I'm from the west border by ohio line)is the clubs you must belong to to access anywhere...boooo...My boot is to them and where they sit.....Greed
