[QUOTE="MarbleEyez, post: 313346, member: 1292"] My family, myself included, farms and ranch as a "hobby". This year I had a good chunk of ground that was in row crops and I was just finishing up harvesting the second week of rifle season. We didn't have the land posted and there was people on one of the quarters throughout the weekend. One of them stopped me and thanked me for not having it posted and asked if we mind if he drove in to retrieve his deer, as he just harvested a couple does. He came up, shook my hand and thanked me for the opportunity. We leave in roughly 40ac every year for the wildlife. Mainly corn/sunflowers. That's roughly $9,000, and we do tree plantings and other things on top of that. We all obtain gratis tags every year, which on average we only fill 1 of those a year. My "[B]cut of the money[/B]" is shooting a rooster over my dog in the fall and getting a chance at one of the mature bucks that I've helped nourish along the way since they were a fawn. Everyone who complains about not having access isn't looking very hard. All it takes is a conversation and the gates will open. The gentleman who took 5 min out of his time to make it a point to thank me and shake my hand, he'll have access to the ground as long as I'm around. [/QUOTE]
