Game fence,

As I'm not a hunter you'd think I wouldn’t mind,

But how does the state and other interested non-hunting groups expect the wildlife to remain "Free and natural" if all the ranch owners enclose "Their de er� and any thing else that can not jump 8 feet?

At the rate ranchers are upping game fences ,in another 20 years their want be any ability for the wildlife to move around. So much for migration of any thing with out wings.

PS some one please tell spell check I mean d e e r not Dear

NO, not attitude, just technicaly correct data and an expected out come. I doubt you hear anyone say it wrong.

And yes the cost, it really doesn’t matter what you shoot either,

Pigs, all the farmers and rancher seem to complain, they are overwhelming , tearing up the crops ,blah blah blah. But offer to shoot a few and suddenly they need 400-1200 to cover the cost of "managing and supporting the population"

Have you also noticed, people can’t share a lease any more, its all per person, or worse per person / per game.

Here my take

I don’t hunt because:
A. I don’t think setting in a blind waiting for something to walk up is fun. I'd say boring.
B. I don’t own any land, Id have to get a lease, all of which seem to be interested only in blinds.
C. I have no one to hunt with, The few prospects at work either don’t want to any thing but set in a blind with a rifle, forget handgun hunting, or they think I'm anti-hunting because I don’t beleive blasting every squirrel , possum, & bird with a .223 is particularly of any value or fun.


Hunting was, going out, looking for (tracking) something & shooting it. I don’t even know why they still call it hunting; game sniping would be a better name.
