[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 608063, member: 28854"] A very good read that I would only add a couple comments to. First, I would never wait until close to the time the season opens or when I want to hunt a place. IMO that should be done months ahead of time out of courtesy to the landowner, to know you have a place to hunt, and to allow both parties an opportunity to get to know each other a little bit. Second is that for the most part the days are gone when most places will let you on for what was mentioned, but rather access fees are required. Only once in a great while can you gain access for free as compared to when I started back in the 50s. I have only one small ranch left in Wyoming where hunting is free for me and my buddy. The economy and other factors have really almost necessitated that ranchers/farmers get compensation in order to pay taxes, etc. People should not begrudge them the fact that they are trying to keep that land that maybe has been held by generations under their name and access fees may be one of the only ways to help them pay the bills and do that. IMHO there are way too many people out there that think they are owed the right to hunt anywhere they want whether it's public or private. Thus the problem we face with trespassing, broken fences, and possible damage to property that hurts us all in finding and keeping private property open. Thanks for a very good read!!! [/QUOTE]
