Ugh... With the rain in the forecast the farmers have been hitting the fields hard here in SW Ohio.
I just took my boots off and I know I'll have them back on in 4.5 hours. The reason I'm posting this is because I had a farmer I help tell me a story about a hunter today. This guy stopped the farmer from planting to ask for permission to hunt...this is NOT the time to ask folks. When a farmer is in the field, leave him alone. Odds are, he is short on sleep and just spent a bunch of money fixing something. He's going to be in a grumpy mood and the last thing he wants to do is give you 10 minutes of his time.
Often spring and fall is when hunters think about hunting. These are the worst times to try and get permission. (Unless the farmer has problems with wildlife...(turkeys eating the seeds as its getting planted...major crop damage from deer) odds are of the farmer is having these problems, he's already on the phone with guys.
I can go into this more when I'm not so tired...just wanted to share a little inside info.
