I'll take your bet. These pastures are over forty miles from the nearest town and out in the middle of nowhere. Beer drinking teens don't need to drive that far to imbibe and they couldn't find these pastures if they wanted to.

I do agree that these slobs were just that, slobs, who happened to be hunting. Most of the hunters we've had down through the years were responsible hunters and those that abused their privileges never hunted here again.

Hunters are not all alike, any more than all ranchers are alike, but as my neighbor said, there seem to be more slobs than good hunters anymore. The slobs think they are doing us a favor by coming out here to shoot a deer or antelope and act like they are being abused if they are told they can't drive their vehicles all over our pastures trying to find that big buck.

This neighbor is not part of the lockout, but from now on the only hunters they will allow are locals and relatives. Can't say I blame them.
