I wish I had free access to hunting land like you seem to have.

Sure have.

Crybabies have that effect on me.

Makes it more fun when the shots are personal

That's not true. You can bait deer in 14 counties in Wisconsin.

Savell, maybe you should take old Swamper out and teach him how to hunt. You'd probably have to feed him though because with out his lease, game cameras, fancy hunting blinds etc. he'd most likely starve.

He'd probably try to give you a ticket though for you know actually hunting. It'd be a foreign concept to him and he'd be scouring the regs to find a violation.

… any further name calling will be considered flaming lol

…. He’d likely not have dig too deep in the regs to get me lol

Well this has been fun but I've got to go to work. I'll check back later to see how this goes. I'm sure Savell will keep it under control or maybe not.

If I had free land to hunt on it might make me a better deer hunter.

I hope this topic doesn't touch a nerve with anyone

Im going to go work on my hunting lease so it'll improve my chances of killing another good buck.

How easy can one make it before it loses its fun? Sincere question

Cull me from the herd.

Golfers, freeloaders, moochers, wannabe deer experts, and crybabies don't care if I'm gone.

They'll just find something else to whine about that they're too lazy & cheap to do themselves.

Hey Swamp Living in town vs buying land is your choice. Game wardens don't make crap I understand that and it's a needed job. It's the ones that are jack wagons I don't like and that's been the majority.

Young girl buys her own tags for the first time at 18 now that she is not geting yout license goes bow hunting and shoots a 170. GW think it was her brother or dad that killed it and starts digging around bothering them. Turns out she bought the wrong tag being her first time doing it. She ran it through the on line tag system did everything right just made the simple mistake clear to see it was a mistake. Gw took her deer. She gave up hunting.

Cousins wife shot her largest buck it was running tword a road. farmers stoped and Un loaded on it from the road missed only shot that hit it was hers shot from the other side. GW was renting his house from the farmers that shot from the road and let them take her legal deer. and said we'll I didn't see them.shoot from.the road so can't prove they did. Clear blood trail was also over looked Cousin and wife had permission to hunt there. Farmer that shot from.the road didn't own the land farmer that did didn't want in the middle of the mess.

Cousin shot a nice buck that made it 20 yards across the property line where GW hunts. Can cleary see it is down and blood trail jealous gw was mad my cousin killed the buck he was hunting and wouldn't let him go get his deer..

So the few I have been around earn my opinion of them. it's not all of them but people general lump others into groups.
That said they know what's going.on an generaly have an inside track with land owners at least around.here.

Just becuese I have land and financial ability to spend money to hunt Does not make me puff up and say everyone should buy land or be willing to drive thousands of miles to hunt each year.

Maybe it's rembering making 20 to 30k a year and hunting in my back yard being to broke to use the gas to hunt vs driving to work And the 7 to 14 deer I shot each year was a big part of my eating well that makes me consider those not in my current good situation. And how the cost and limited access effects them.

The fun part is riding that tractor and doing things like planting food plots, etc....you know doing things that give back to the wildlife, instead of just taking all the time....like freeloaders and moochers do.

…. I only have one bullet and I’m saving it for a Yankee lol

How about fishing....now there's a lot of money spent on boats..
Motors ...rods ,& Reels...fuel to and from ... tackle...

Just to catch a trout and release it....lol

Of course I could have gone to the Grocery store and bought

Wild trout...and invested that saved money in the stock market

And been a millionaire by now..

Ive spent more time on a tractor than most on here and can say sitting on a tractor ISNT hunting, it's farming and if u enjoy farming for wildlife that's cool but it isn't hunting.

I guess it's easy to group all GWs into one big (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)hole bin. Oh well...to each his own. I've heard it all my career from every direction. It never ends...lol.

Me buy hunting land? That's always been my dream, but I'm 60 now and that's probably not gonna happen. Has a little something to do with 20% down and being able to make a large payment. I don't have that kind of money...never have and likely won't b4 Im dead.

Ive made sure I had access to deer hunting all my adult life. It hasn't been cheap, but I have no other hobbies (other than trapping and Ive used the proceeds from trapping to go deer hunting.)

The money I spend is for leasing the property, planting food plots, stands and other gear, tractor equipment, etc. Its simply hunting land management expenses.

Locals dumped some corn in front of the game warden's duck blind.
Then " tipped off" the Feds...

I was actually leasing ground almost 50 years ago.
Was $1/ acre back.then
Got priced out pretty quick, maybe mid 80s?

Been hunting state, Federal,my own, and friends and family land since
