“I trade time eradicating agriculture pests for hunting rights during hunting seasons for harvesting fodder for my freezers.”
We had an old guy drive around the farms in our area shooting groundhogs, many of which were in cow pastures. The game warden wrote him a citation for not walking 25 feet from his car before discharging the weapon. All the farmers in the area posted their land and blocked all hunting. They told the game wardens to stay off their property.
It caused such a ruckus that the game wardens were transferred to another area to work and the citations were removed. Farmers by their nature stick together when fighting an opponent and are also independent principled folks who stand their ground through thick and thin.
We need to work together with common sense to counter all these PETA loonies and especially the PETA folks who have become animal protection officers and game wardens. If you look at how many of the PETA folks have migrated to the SPCA’s and then into government animal enforcement positions, you would be surprised.
Same here ..... I’ve had run ins with the F&W sorts here as well .... befriended a few over the years but there be turds in the punchbowl here and there as we all know ...... 99 percent of the time I am in the fence line but do a lot of the tasks where the land is so flat and open you can stand on a 5 gallon bucket with a pair of binoculars and see the back of your own head....:o)
