I own only because it was passed down Father to Son and I hope someday to pass it to my son and him eventually to his son . Yup I still get trespassers even though its posted (in ENGLISH) and they still cant read it . The property backs up to a non-working farm and I have a good relationship with them . If I had to buy it I probably couldnt afford it these days . State Land is not too far away (Windham) and I do go there for a change of pace . Owning allows me to put up a couple of Built-in-Treestands and permanent ground blinds . I'm very lucky and thankful for what I have !
Too often I've had hunters coming onto my Posted Land and asking me if I have permission to hunt there (I own it dammit) ! The same clowns whom ride the roads looking in open fields and stepping out of their vehicle to take a shot ! Puts a bad rep on everyone !
I'll be out there , I have Sat,Sun,Mon and Tuesday off and hopefully I'll spend it all in the woods . When I was USNR I would make sure I didnt drill opening weekend - I believe I said I was sick ... LOL .... Good Luck Everybody !
This might sound like a dumb question but here it goes ..... I know you can use a crossbow during gun season .... Can you while using a crossbow take a deer of either sex without a DMP ? Just curious ! (told you it would sound like a dumb question )
