Also, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been turned down when asking permission to hunt or trap an Amish farm.
LOL, I've had a few give me permission to hunt on land, THAT WASNT THEIRS. Also, most are not shy about trespassing. They hit a LOT of public land and push it hard. Some here kill all their deer, log all their timber, sell the topsoil then sand and or gravel. Then make furniture, pole barns, etc Or move to Missouri/ Kentucky. You must have a completely different type of Amish around you. Most of the ones I know don’t even hunt and nearly all of them are good, hard-working, honest people.
Eh...wot?

Live near them and deal with them almost daily. Good people for the most part. Their skills for building are overrated though. I live in an Amish built house, I can testify. I would never buy another Amish built home, or treehouse for that matter. This is spot on.

I would never buy another Amish built home, or treehouse for that matter. This is spot on. Different around here. The ones around here are very skilled carpenters, wood workers, leather peoples and so on. Yes, some take advantage of selling "Amish made" goods but people buy them so good for them. Also, all Amish hunt, trap, and fish. They will not give you permission to do anything on their land. Believe me I tried, they won't even give permission to trap coon or groundhogs. The only complaint that I have about them is they over fish, hunt and trap. They will take everything they catch. 2 3 4 inch bluegill, they fill buckets with them. Scale and gut them then grind up in patties. Not all, but a lot, leave no seed for future fishing and such.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Most hunt here, and travel to do so. See them 3 hours away sika deer hunting, they come down from PA too. Even see parties of them on charter boats. Have seen them row out in jon boats and tong for oysters.

Got Amish all around me. Dealt with one a lot but his family now moved. They don't seem to set their roots to deep. Find that with the Amish around us. They have the wonder lust but also helps with inter breeding.

I agree with DaveP. It's not wonder lust, it's disagreements with the Bishop of their sect. I lived near a sect that owned everything on both sides of a long road. They had sawmills that I got slab wood from, they had leather harness shops, furniture shops and so on. We traded goods and services and it was great. They had a big tadoo with the Bishop because he banned smoking.
The Bishop said no more smoking and the fella's loved smoking those cigar cigarettes'. So they packed up, sold out, and moved to Missouri and started there own sect. I sure missed them, the ones that moved in were old order and didn't care to have anything to do with the English.

We have some that run pole barn steel and ther was a dry goods and farm supply store. They closed the dry good store last time I was by there. The also run a puppy mill with small dogs. There is a small engine repair guy.
Last I talked to them its a relatively new group to out area and was about 10 families.
Now an hour and half west there is a large settlement. They have restaurants a multi ring auction house every Friday along with several business.
Like any group of people they have all kinds. I feel they are dishonest when they set up at the farmers markets and give the impression what they are selling was grown by the community. It's not it's purchased and resold. Nothing wrong with that that's 99% of retailers but to give the impression that is a home grown product without clarification does seem like lying by omission to me. Graber Post and Dinky's Auction Barn? Used go there every Friday night
