I was wondering if this was going to turn up on the mailing list or not... We arrived at this property, obtained permission from the landowners to search it, and were approached by this gent who was upset because he was there before us. It doesn't work that way, and in any case it's up to the landowner to give or deny permission to hunt. Ironically, we had just left a parcel of land where four other groups/individuals came and went while we were searching it. We stopped and chatted cordially with a few of them, shared information, and all had a Coke and a smile without undue snippiness. Sonny didn't do anything wrong here, and it is my observation that he is a very conscientious gent whom I would be happy to hunt with again.

Cheers,
Marc Fries
