I dont have a lot of problems,but the family has had the same policy for years on these places and it doesnt get tried much anymore. Weve had cattle shot,and some butchered,over the years. And in fact thats what started us limiting hunting to only a very few. Grandad and I were carrying water up to the house from the well accross the road one noon,when a truck load of drunk hunters nearly ran over him,and stopped to ask to hunt. He said no, but they were welcome to ask again when they sobered up. They got all mad and tore off throwing gravel all over him and every thing else. That evening we were setting on the porch just before dark when the same pickup pulled up on the road in front of the house. Cows had come up to water as usual along with our old whiteface bull that was as tame as one could get. Naturally when he saw the truck stop he walked over thinking he would get fed and hung his head over the fence. Guys in the truck stuck a shotgun out the passenger side window and shot him right in the face,and blinded him. Grandad carried a gun for weeks after that every where he went,hoping to see those guys around but we never did. That was one of two times in my life I every saw him mad,the second,and the final straw came when one of the lifelong neighbors who liked to chase coyotes with greyhounds and follow them in a four wheel drive truck left the gates open and we hunted and sorted cattle for two days. Up to that point if there was a lock on any place i never knew it, by evening every gate, barn,and shed was locked. Before that grandad had even left the keys in all the cars ,trucks ,tractors and all in case one of the neighbors needed one while no one was home. Never again,if you were caught on the place for any reason without coming to the house,the sherriff was called. Some neighbors didnt like it and still dont but thats the rules from now on as far as i'm concerned. I figure if your man enough to hunt and fish,your man enough to stop and ask! If your lowlife enough to tresspass,your lowlife enough to steaL, and ive never cut one person any slack,freind ,relative or foe. Granddad for a long time wouldnt allow no hunting at all after that ,even by us boys. Even though we grew up hunting fishing and trapping for alot of our food. To his old world way of thinking,if you didnt allow hunting you shouldnt allow ANY hunting.One of our regular chores remained to feed the quail coveys around the place ,until he died,but he never shot another one. If he got to wanting quail he would trap a few for a meal and thats all.
