$10? maybe they could buy your shells and clean your birds too
Well they don't have to buy my shells and I can clean my own birds, but the commercialization of hunting is one of the reasons I don't hunt anymore. Why on earth would I spend $50 a day to potentially get 10 birds, that when dressed out will almost fit in the palms of my hands?
Used to be if you were respectful and could hold a decent conversation with a farmer, you could get permission to hunt for free. Between Oklahoma Farm Bureau and everyone wanting to get rich these days, that friendly neighbor atmosphere is all but history. A lack of respect for landowners and the ethics of hunting by quite a few hunters hasn't helped either.
I think the world is a little sadder because of the turn we've taken.
