Doug, you make me sick. Please tell me or show me where its us against the landowner. Over and over i have said there is nothing wrong with charging to hunt. I also have said i am a landowner, so what, its me against me? Dont compair me with Mr Dean. I have a mind of my own and use it. You may want to try that sometime. Mr Dean has some very valid points for many things, and if you would get off your hi horse and check it out sometime, you would see that.
I dont see any problem with protecting your land, your livelyhood or property. I do the same let me tell ya. However, if you dont at least try to help your self, such as have hunters come in to thin out the herd as much as you feel is needed, then i see no need or excuse for landowners to be shooting deer off hay stacks when they should have been thinned during hunting season. There is a difference between them starving to death and them eating your hay. Ya, dispatch them when you see them suffering. But, because they are eating your hay and you didnt allow hunting this fall is no reason to start shooting...........you get whats coming to you at that point, as far as im concerned.
