[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 2041802, member: 108138"] I see both sides of this, as I am a hunter and a landowner. But please look at it from the ranchers eyes. If I charge you $100 a day to shoot pigs, I’m not charging you for the pigs. I’m charging you for access to my land. That $100 goes to cover the cost of repairing the fence that the uncaring hunter cut so he could drag his pig to his truck. It’s to cover my labor costs from gathering and sorting cattle when the unconscientious hunter leaves a gate open. It’s to cover my costs when the cow picks up, chews on, and chokes to death on the shotgun shells the hunter didn’t pick up. Now, I’m not saying you do these things. And 99% of hunters don’t. But I can’t tell that from interviewing you, because everyone who wants access to my land claims they don’t do these things, yet some of them do. So please understand that there are costs associated with letting hunters have access t your land. They may not be apparent to you, but they are real costs none the less. [/QUOTE]
