Still don't understand why a sizable minority here on the 'fire feel compelled to offer up judgement on folks they have never met whose threads weren't addressed to them, either individually or as a part of a subgroup. It smacks of both arrogance and ignorance to me.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

He put his panhandle request on a public forum - I'll judge it as I see fit.
This mentality of the populace to take from others instead of earning from themselves is a direct result of the Liberal populist movement and they are attempting to destroy this nation with it (seemingly somewhat successful with it too). Sorry you're too much of a pussy to understand - you might examine your own ignorance on the subject as well.

Couldn't agree more.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
I don't have a dog in this hunt. However, he asked about "reasonable" not free hunting. What is reasonable in one part of Texas might not be in another part. For example, if I was not a landowner, I would never be able to afford South Texas where I hunt. Why because it is not reasonable to hunt based on my salary, and I make a very good salary. Do I hunt in the same blind each year with the same feeder each ymkear, yes I do and more then happy to. And I take a deer each year at least 140 pound and at least the same score. I really don't care about the rack anymore, I have so many of them, its pointless, its more the weight for me. My family also had some "hill county" land, that I hunted when I was a child too, but that sold. If the deer was more then 80 pounds, that was a monster. There were so many deer in the area that a year round lease was cheaper then the taxes on the property, but that was years ago.
Quite frankly if you are not making better then 250k a year (based on south Texas wages), you are priced out of South Texas. Would I never lease for deer, never. For hogs, it was not for the liability and the lease permits, etc., that's a different story. I wish rancher's would stop managing hogs trying to make money on hogs and just get every kill every last one of those things.
No he didn't - he said he couldn't afford to hunt and was looking for a place to go for a "modest fee" - in other words he's willing to pay less than it's worth. It's a con plain and simple. Hunting is nowhere close to a necessity - it's a luxury. If you can't afford a luxury you do with out. This is exactly what's wrong with this country - nobody is interested in equality of opportunity, only equality of outcomes.
In other words, he wants what "you" have but doesn't want to pay for it - you should give him yours. It's only fair. Sounds like you've got a good thing going for yourself, you gonna give him yours? Or were you thinking somebody else should? Somebody "rich"?
Disgusting.
The number of people that think it's OK is disgusting.

I re-read his post. He says he is retired and can no longer "afford" to hunt, and is looking for place with a "modest" fee. That may or may not imply "free" or even "reduced fee." It might mean that he can no longer afford a top end or medium place, but could afford a less desirable place, ie. small deer and not a lot of opportunities to harvest a deer.
And no I don't think for a minute he should be subsided by some "rich" guy to hunt.
SKANE, I HAVE GIVEN AWAY MORE STUFF THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT HERE. Sometimes people want to reciprocate. It's just a few fellows that think they don't need anybody to survive. I've made a lot of friends buying, trading and selling to other people. You say you don't suffer fools but yet you act like one. Let's just let it die and you go your way and I'll go mine. powdr
Then buy,sell, trade your way onto a lease and quit bitchin. You're whining like a teenage girl.
Some times, not kicking a man when he is down, is all of the help he needs.
Sometimes.
But in this case, he's not down, he's exactly where he planned to be - retired. He's not working and he wants things he can't afford, but he's too much of a lazy POS to do the minimal work that is needed to afford the things he wants.
Your caring ain't gonna buy him a place to hunt, but you get to believe you're a better person than I am - because you care! If only you could like his post like they do on Facebook!
Love the comments. You've got access to some of the best hunting in Texas - I can only assume you're PM to Powdr is in his in box.....
David
You really shouldn't assume much if it has anything to do with me, since you do not know me. I have, however, been known to give stuff away, in light of the fact that none of my "best hunting in Texas" places are free.
Take note of the kid below, who a month before this lost his dad to cancer. You notice the smile on his face? I'll never forget it. This is what it's all about to me. If I want to give a hunt, or pay for a hunt, to whoever, for whatever reason I want to, I usually feel free to do so, in light of what the moral authorities think. I do not know powdr from Adam, BTW.

Great!
Glad to hear this is solved and Powdr now has a place to hunt!
