I was a farmer... it was a tongue in cheek remark almost self mocking.. and only seeking to point out the need to manage those situations carefully..

The first statement is observational, and would be an accurate reflection of many landowners opinions... Again having been a farmer I have seen and watched the access issues for years..

If you don't understand clarification is the first step......

Too true Sidney.
The whole "poaching" debate always turns into a debate from those of us who would generally deem scoring a wild venison without being caught on the wrong side of the fence as a little win for the hunter/gatherer vs the landowner mentality that views everything as theirs, including the public roads that run through their estates. I'm a "townie" to all you cockies out there. We work real hard for our kills. I know the odd farmer who's ok with a hunt on their place. The majority (family members included) will fob me and many hunters I know off. If you move in their circles and political sphere (National supporters) then that's a different story . . . .lol. It's not because we are untrustworthy etc that they fob us off, it's because they are greedy, red necks that want any resource they can possibly command to use to their advantage. Also, we're those working class boys from the town who need to be kept an eye on . . . .lest they forget who the master is . . .lol

Hahahaha . . . . I'm just kidding with ya . . . you know I love you rural types. . . . you're the backbone of the country!

Before you illiterate, myopic red necks get on my thoughts - I don't like dudes who disrespect other people livestock, equipment etc.
