A few friends and I lease land...I only pay $250 personally...I think it's a great deal.

My grandparents let anyone and everyone hunt their woods (a GREAT place to hunt, I might add)...as long as you're willing to WALK ½ mile thru a field (this year it was corn and beans)..and not drive on it except for when the ground is frozen. A few guys with climbers don't mind..others never return.

Yes, I get disgusted with the inconsiderate hunters out there, in many different aspects, and there are quite a few of them! Our landowner wants us to shoot our limits out of there, saves him money on his crops. It's a benefit to most farmers. I was thrilled with the new liability form in the regs this year, I haven't tried it out on any landowners, but I hope it is successful in increasing areas to hunt!

Hey Hunting Girl, were you close to that big Twister in
Indiana?

Tell me about it, its really hard to do. I got one spot i used to hunt alone, but now there is another guy who hunts it during shotgun. There are deer in there but the chances of killing a big buck are about slim to none. I'd like to hunt elsewhere but know how tough it will be to gain permission to some of the better land. I got permission to a place last week but im only allowed to hunt it if the other hunter isnt there, so thats not much good. I asked some other property owner yesterday about hunting and he told me he already had 2 hunters so it wasnt a good idea. Im having an uncle try and hook me up with a few of his old honey holes where he doesnt even really hunt anymore. If that fails, im going door to door later today. If i get turned down 20 times but allowed 1, then its worth it. I would lease land in a heartbeat, only problem is the leases are never advertised around here and i dont want to go through a middleman like BaseCamp.

bigbuck. A friend and I went door to door in Steuben looking for land. Found a few spots..which SUPRISED the heck out of me...but all had a few other guys hunting it. The ratio of people saying "no" opposed to "yes" had to be around 20:1 (sad but true).


Oh, BTW......GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean Pat. Luckily it looks as though my uncle has got me permission to hunt a couple places where he does. I dont get it, my uncle isnt the cleanest cut of people, and can barely hold a job, but landowners practically kiss his a## and he gets permission where nobody else can. I dont know how he does it. He told me the other night one of the property owners called him wanted to know where he was becuase all the deer had killed his crops. He shot a 17 point in there a few years ago.

And yes...GOOOOOOOOOOO COLTS, cant wait for the game, need to put one to NE. We win tonight and i think we are superbowl bound. There is no bigger test in the NFL to the Colts then NE, they have an edge on us mentally.I think you will probably see one of NE best games tonight too. If were able to go in there and beat them, that will convince me we have came a very long way.

COLTS WIN!!!!!!!!! Complete domination of the defending champs. I need to kill a monster buck this weekend to top this off.
