[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1434994, member: 9675"] Yes sir, I agree. We are now friends and mutually use each other. (I don't mean that the way it sounds!) Landowners actually need trusting hunters/trappers, just as hunters/trappers need trusting landowners. Most ranchers don't have the time to patrol their property like it really needs. Yeah, they could lease it out to someone they don't know and make a few bucks off of it, but then they still have to worry if a gate is gonna get closed, pasture gonna get rutted up, or who knows what else. If they have someone they know and trust to keep an eye on their property while they're not around, that can be worth more than the money they'd make leasing it out. Earlier this year I posted a story about getting the game warden called on me for sitting on the road and "poaching" when I was actually just looking over the place and being the eyes in the field. That story got relayed to an adjoining landowner that I didn't know at the time. Since then I have met the landowner and got to know him and just this week he gave me permission to access his land and hunt all the pigs I want. I never asked permission, never even hinted around about it. Just introduced myself when I saw him, talked about the weather and animals, and he offered it to me. Like ol Mighty Merle Haggard sings about, the good times ain't over for good. There are a lot of good ol boys still around that will let you hunt with a nothin but a handshake.
