A topic near and dear to my heart. But we did it to ourselves. Years ago, back in the 50s and 60s, no one cared if you hunted their land. Too many slobs took advantage. At least then, most hunters had ethics; now it's all about killing something.
A few years ago, I let family hunt because I don't bow hunt. BIL cut limbs out of my big oak so he could see and nephew left bait all over. Now no one hunts except me. And tresspassers. I find empty shot shell hulls all over. I put my empties in my pocket. Even posted signs don't help. A couple of years ago, I leased the ROW that crosses our 80 so I now have the authority to kick tresspassers off.
Tresspassers don't know where the old well might be, where I might be hunting, where my kids might be playing, or where I might just be taking a walk.
A neighbor hunts my BIL's next door. He set his blind just off the fenceline so he can watch my corn patch. He'll shoot across the line and then come ask if he can track his deer. He's the type, "give him and inch ...."
I do a lot of habitat work and share with who I want. The local beagle club loves to run trials here. One day, five different groups ran here and all the dogs found rabbits.
I'm thankful farmers in Iowa still let folks on. I have been turned down only a couple of times. But I hunt alone with just my dog. A large group might be denied. I usually take a few bags of Michigan apples to show mu appreciation.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
