To the editor,
We talk a lot about getting access to private lands, but we rarely mention the act of repaying that landowner's kindness and generosity.
Keeping a piece of land maintained as viable hunting habitat is a time-consuming and costly exercise that is probably appreciated by few who haven't done it. Helping that landowner with year-round land improvements is a good way to ensure access to the property, and it teaches the next generation of hunters respect for the hard labor that goes into land ownership.
Helping the landowner maintain fences, plant supplemental feeding crops, or simply spraying for weeds can go a long way in changing the land-owning public's perception of hunters.

I know Vern personally. He is a first class gentleman and an extremely knowledgeable person.
Came up thru the trenches and became a very successful man.
I like what he says!
