[quote=]…..I don't think you are selfish because you want something. And I know what you mean by the crowded outdoors. Every square inch of land in my county is privately owned except for one hunting area. The state is kind enough to release pheasants about 40 miles from me every year in two or three different areas. But going out there to hunt means that there is a hunter in any direction about 40 yards from you. I have always been surprised that no one that I have ever heard of, has been shot while they were hunting in either of those areas. And it does not take long for those areas to get hunted out. Now bicycle, horse and hiking trails are in places that used to be convenient to hunt in. And the population in the United States has almost tripled since 1940. There is a river about 200 yards from my house where my buddies and I used to play when we were kids. But if you go there now, you are on private property and you can plan on a sheriff's deputy asking you to leave. And you better not have a gun with you. Or you will surely be arrested. I saw this coming about 15 years ago and I figured it was time to diversify my interests. That way I could have an array of things to do in my spare time if something fell to the wayside. Good luck.[/quote]
You seem similar to rocky mnt bill above, even rants would lead folks to think you’re kindred spirits. He too has issues with put and take pheasants, and rich white people doing their land grab. But go figure, he lives in the fourth largest land area state and a third of it has some form of legal hunting access.

Pro tip, I like that, if you two amigos could unite, instead of diversify, you wouldn’t have to sit around and wait for your agendas to come true, you could run on apathy and you vision will be fulfilled.
