Too much land to hunt???

With all of this talk lately about fierce competion for hunting lands, does anybody have too many places to hunt like me? I have have three places that landowners asked me if we would like to hunt that I haven't had a chance to check out, I have my favorite hunting ground 15 minutes from my house, along with my inlaws' timber 25 minutes away. Our buddies and fellow prostaffers, Ron and Diann, own 1200 acres of beautiful, pristine prime ground in MO on the IA/MO border. They want us to come down and hunt their land as they have places that haven't been hunted in years. All of the land we hunt in IA, I was approached by the landowner and asked if we would like to hunt it exclusively. Anybody else have more places to hunt than is possible to do even if you hunted for a living? Is it really all that hard to get ground to deer hunt on where you live?
 
Im not to far from you HCH, I will help you out

I think you can get on as much ground as you have ambition to go after.
 
LOL!! I don't have time to hunt it but I don't want to share it either

Kind of like that ex girlfriend philosphy, I don't want her but I don't want you to have her either.

Just an idea of what's within a close trip from home......
Ernie 1600 acres
Stan- 3000 acres
Peter- 960
Delmar- 1120
Cates- 480
Lloyd- 1600
Terry- 800

The list goes on and on....it's good living in Canada.

I will bet it is. Beautiful scenery, world class fishing and hunting, and NO HILLARY.

I don't like the handgun laws in Canada though, then again no handguns would still be better than Hillary in office.

Haha, yeah no kidding. To be honest with you HCH.... if you view this as a problem, you are living way way too easy of life haha. Good luck with all that great opportunity, I know it can be brutal.
 
DWILK, my buddies tell me that they have more places than they have time to hunt too. I was just wondering if others here are in the same boat and if all of this fear of nonresidents stealing all of our hunting ground was a realty. That reminds me, I have a buddy down at Grand River that offers me to come and hunt there too on his place. More places than time.

Are you trying to figure out whether anyone else is in this situation because you are trying to find a better way to manage your time on these properties? I for one am not in your boat haha. I don't believe non residents are going to steal all the hunting ground because there is public hunting ground haha. Obviously, people are going to lose hunting ground at some time or another, whether it be to other hunters, landowner change (non-resident or resident, outfitters or private landownders), leases, development, any number of things, so people are always going to be concerned. I know I get concerned from time to time about the future of hunting.

I was just jokin around with ya; and I know you know this already, but I don't think your situation is a problem, I'd probably call it more of a...... overabundance of opportunity

Good luck anyway; I wish people offered me land to hunt, because it's the other way around for me; I gotta ask them

I have to admit that by servicing peoples' homes, it puts me in contact with landowners, they become my friend, learn my passion for bowhunting, and then comes the invite. They especially like the fact that my wife and boy hunt with me.
 
What's the point of this post? To let everyone know how good you have it? There's guys out there who do everything under the sun to gain permission to hunt- and for some reason or another get shot down. For those kinda guys, it's tough hearing someone has hunting land just falling from the sky onto his doorstep. Congrats though, I'm sure everyone here would love to have this problem
 
I know of no one that doesn't have an easy time getting a place to hunt. That is the point of this thread. Wondering if others have a problem; maybe this could clarify all of the hostility towards nonresidents on this forum.
 
If your not a local around boone or know somebody, you aren't going to get on any ground.
that is a fact

Those that have problens may need to offer some work on the propety owners' place. My favorite hunting place gets two loads of wood cut for the owner every year. He doesn't expect it, but sure appreciates it. He heats with wood. I guess I had no idea that aquiring hunting ground for deer with a bow was hard. Guns on the other hand, seem to have some opposition by many landowners from what I hear. We only hunt with archery, that is the reason I am sure that property owners are so friendly.
