Scarey when people have guns.

No its scary when people with "mental" issues and previous criminal records get weapons.....

Should I be afraid every time I'm near someone with a axe???I dont think so.

Just because there are nut bags running loose dose not mean I should give up a right or allow myself to live in fear..

As a society we seem to confuse the value of rights of many with the value of concerns/fears of a few...

River rat is totally right.Its becoming that vacationers own more land than residents in many areas. Its bound to happen we make more people but theres only so much land.

You can sure see the effect in the $ per acre prices in the last 5 years.......

I totally agree about the up north fellas getting protective about the land, seems as though they think "My family has been hunting this land for 100 years, people shouldn't be able to drive up here twice a year and have the same privilages as me"! Well fella, I hate to tell you this, but these same people are the ones interested in purchasing land there too. It is demand that drives prices up, and the more people who are interested, the more you can sell the 80 you decide to break off when you are too old to work/use it anymore. You don't hear these people complaining when land values have increased 20 TIMES in the last 20 years, going from 70$ an acre to 1200$ an acre!!!!

Pretty same thing happened to me in Wisc. last year.

Yeah thanks for driving up the price so that those who live and work up here can not afford a place to live on and not just recreate. Some up here do get possesive about the areas they hunt. You spend a lot of time scouting areas to hunt get a plan to hunt then get in your stand and find not just a bunh of hunters around you but a campsite with two campers 50 yards from your stand. it is not the actual people who come up here, it is the numbers. There is a reason we live here and there is a reason you live where you do. I aint saying you cant come up here but that is the way some people are going to be. And it is not just the locals the visitors get real possesive of land they have hunted for a long time too.

Might be a little off topic maybe not, but listening to the hunting accidents on tv the other night I couldnt help but to think about how the media makes hunting seem like a dangerous activity. That lead to me wondering and my buddies and I agreeing on our sports future. If some of us dont start changing for the better, it may lead to less land to hunt and fewer oppertunities to hunt. This is already appernt as private and lease lands are increasing. We also agreed that hunting itself is going to get very expensive. With some of the jerk offs out there today harrassing other hunters, disrespecting landowners property, and or disregarding and"bending" the laws...I am deeply concerned about our fututre hunting PRIVILAGES! This is also true introducing kids to our sport. they are the future and I feel they need to be shown proper saftey, ethics, and morals with a stict guidline to follow the law. They will carry these valuse with them and hopefully preserve our privilages to hunt.
