This past fall I gathered up my courage, humility and my manliness and asked the guy with the farm behind my parents house if I could hunt. His wife answered the door and said he was on the phone, but would call me back. Two weeks later I left a letter in their mailbox with my contact info along with some info about myself. Today I went back and knocked on his door.
"We're not going to allow deer hunting on our property. We like the deer too much. It's like a sanctuary."
:ack2: :cuss: :banghead:
I HATE THAT WORD! I don't want all of them, just one or two!
But he couldn't find a reason not to let me go searching for sheds... so my wife and I bundled up our 7 month old son and started walking. Five minutes into our walk we saw about 7 or 8 white tails bounding away and the trails were criss-crossing the property all over! I did find one shed in the creek, my first ever... but I'm pretty frustrated about not getting to hunt that property.
Have any of you guys ever run into this and been able to change the person's opinion on the matter?
