"For anyone who cant imagine this is true then come down to Henderson, Union, Webster, Crittenden, Caldwell, Hopkins, Muhlenburg and Ohio Counties and you will see for your self."
"Once again, there ar not that many places like you describe and the few that do exist have no real influence in the states deer management. If they are managing their land in accordance with the laws then that is their perogative, but if they are breaking the law they will be punished. If you don't believe so do a google search on Game Trails LLC or Greg Ritz".
Im not talking conspiracy theory...im talking reality and fact.
Im assuming you dont know what is going on in this part of WKY because you are located in Shephardsville. Im not sure you understand how much money a single individual is capable of having or that it is possible for a single person to own three thousand acres for something as simple as tax write off purposes.
I lived in this particular area before i left for twenty five years and ive lived here since i returned. I know who owns these large multi thousand acre tracts of land and who are inviting the out of state hunters to hunt their grounds.
Its all out of state / word of mouth advertising and do you think they all have business licenses identifying themsleves as hunting guides. A number of them work on a cash in hand operation where taxes are not paid due to payment not being traceable. And do you think that if a person was to do something "UNETHICAL" at 1:00 am in the morning and out in the middle of 2000 acres where the entire perimeter of the land is posted with a sign every fifty feet that they are going to be caught. What are the chances of that happening. Have you actually been out in the middle of 2000 acres of secluded woodlands at 1:00 am in the morning to understand how hard it would be to catch someone while they were doing something "UNETHICAL".
And as for the youngsters that you see in the hunter education classes i have friends who teach the classes and i have sat in and helped with these classes. The instructors i know often talk about how the majority of these children will never have a place to deer hunt unless their family owns a farm or they get older and have decent paying jobs and can pay tousands of dollars to lease ground for hunting purposes. But we do agree these classes are still worth their weight in gold due to the fact they are geared towards the subject of firearms safety.
Im not too familiar with the Pitman Robertson Act so ill take your word for that. But are the KDFWR employees vehicles, wages and health insurance paid for by revenue generated from hunting license and tag sales? Or would this money come from the general fund?
