How many hunters that have stopped to ask with buck tags have you let on your land in the last 5 years? Family and friends don't count..
Why does it matter what kind of tag they have?
Why should family and friends not count?
Why does it matter if he let anyone on?

Life is just not very simple as it once was but I assume that comes with age. There was a time my main concern was finding a bootlegger for beer and who I would end up that night with, now there are other concerns.
We have created a lot of dependents on the government over the years. Putting the natives on reservation, half our population on food stamps and starting subsidies for farms back in I assume in the 1920 or 1930.
Food is the basics of society and we need to protect that industry. At the same time it appears that we have no need to protect the local business from going out of business(unless there a big corporation). I have no problem with some of my tax dollars going to provide me with what is call cheap food. I do appreciate the food they raise. Maybe if the farmer/rancher would just do a better job of showing their appreciation to me for some of my tax dollars going there way.
Farming /ranching is a way of life. The cow/calf man is a prime example of that. They are at the bottom of the totem pole with little subsidies. I do feel for them but it is there choice in life. All they ask for is a horse, a dog, a pickup in four different colors and a wife working in town. God bless them for the beef they give me to eat. db
db not far off on the rancher deal, after a couple good years I do have a pickup that is one color. Most would rather their wife not have to work i town and help them open gates at home.
I would just as soon there were No tax dollars coming ags way....because it is why I would much rather ranch than farm.but I have NO problem showing my appreciation to people who are not arrogant dickheads or fools that make claims they can not show ot be true.

Listening to What's on your Mind about this bill right now.
The simple reality is those "subsidies" that some people seem so preoccupied with rarely if ever stay in the farmers pockets or account. Everyone that farmer does business with knows what programs are out there and run break even on crops and price their products accordingly.
Take away ALL govt program payments and watch how inputs are adjusted accordingly to keep the producer buying them.
So for those preoccupied with the payments answer this, who is actually ending up receiving these subsidies? Just the farmer or far more people?
But hey continue to divide with fools rhetoric petty claims
