He posted on a a public forum so he's fair game. I've hunted in Texas for the last twelve years. I lived in Texas for 9 years, haven't been home to Louisiana for a full year yet. I'm very familiar with this line of BS.
What's telling about you is that you like to whine like a little girl when presented with reality.
What are you doing to ease his suffering? I mean besides throwing a hissy fit? Hissy fits don't spend real well - leases are expensive!
That's what I thought.

What's funny is a couple posters want to scold others for bad behavior and/or not helping.
Meanwhile neither of the two are going to help Powder find a cheap hunting spot.
When they do please post it up.....until you do...I'm waiting

I'm in for a spot that I can hunt 140" plus deer for $50. Can anyone pickup my NR license?

Ted:
If your comments are aimed at me, permit me to clarify.
The OP's request was quite specific. To wit: " If there's anyone that would consider letting me hunt on their place for a modest fee I would appreciate it" He never asked for donations, or starting a fund, etc.
I was not suggesting that anyone should help or not help. (But if I knew a place, I would not mind passing along the info.)
I just don't understand is the need to castigate the guy. (get a job, change your priorities, I'd never do that, etc) when you know nothing about his personal/family situation.
If you can help, fine. If you can't help, fine. If you don't want to help, fine. Just move on.
And if you disagree with my opinion, that's ok, too.

Another member pm'd me that he would be in for an African Safari if someone would cover his PH and Trophy Fees. He's not asking for something for nothing - he's willing to cover airline costs (but if someone wanted to help with that I'm sure he's willing to talk). David

And if you disagree with my opinion, that's ok, too. S. T. All BS aside, you seem like a decent guy. The reactions you are seeing are from people that have experience dealing with scammers and grifters. Nobody trying to run a con ever says "hey, I'm a lazy, worthless human being - who here would like to pay for my hunting expenses?" See? That's where the con part comes from, and the tender little hearts like yours that think "that's so sad!" to whatever BS story they come up with. This is a grift. David

Thank you for the civil reply. You could be exactly correct in that this is nothing but a scam. But neither you nor I know that for sure.
I've been around the block a few times and seen my share of scams. And I’m not your typical bleeding heart. Even lived in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles years ago!
The guy is not asking for a donation toward a lease payment. So it’s not like handing a guy on the street corner 10 bucks and making him promise not to buy beer.
Seems to me a rancher, who had a place nearby, after checking references, could have the guy pay a few bucks for a day or weekend hunt for hogs. They could get to know each other and then decide whether to go forward, with little risk to either party. And as pretty much anyone who has leased hunting property in Texas has found out, you can get your butt thrown off in a heartbeat if things don’t go right as far as the landowner is concerned!
Powdr’s profile says his occupation is/was education. I presume that means he was a teacher. I have a lot respect for teachers, especially in today’s world. They work hard at a very important job, for little pay. Guess that is one reason I might be giving him the benefit of the doubt.
But apparently some guys here have had unsatisfactory deals with the him, so perhaps the skepticism is justified.

It starts and ends when he says he's looking for help to get something he can't afford. And that something is a life luxury, not a need. Would you do that? Would you to beg for help paying for a luxury on a public forum? Think about it. David

No
I have a Husky 460 and a hydraulic spliter Ted, Here's the thing - it's important to me that I'm not seen as a deadbeat. I can afford to pay a modest fee. I'm thinking $5/day for all the firewood I can use, camp set-up, cooking , game skinning, etc. Heck I could even go $7.50/day - remind me before I leave and I'll write you a check... David

The amount you guys spend for a tag wouldn't buy the gas a Texas guy spends going back and forth to their lease in the off season. powdr Exactly the reason I'd never live in that shythole. People like to rag on those of us who live in NY because we have shytty politics and bad gun laws but I've hunted 41 seasons here, killed multiple deer every one of them and never spent a dime on lease/trespass fee's. Never will either. We have six million acres of public land and 10's of thousands of acres of it are within a 15 minute drive in any direction from my home. There are also still landowners here who will give permission to hunt for free. I have permission on 326 acres of private land just across the road from my house and another 148 acres 2 miles up the road. I have several more properties if I want to drive a ways but rarely do anymore as I don't have any trouble filling my tags right here at home. If you want to drive to NY in November I'll show you some places where you can set up camp and hunt till your hearts content.

I really wanted to move to NY myself. Only the politics scares me away. Beautiful state.
