Very nice Gates... I bet you got a pile of deer on your property as well. All I hear about is how many deer are running around that part of MD because of the lack of hunting.

Gates, I think that J&J is on 601/985?

My place is off of that road a little further out of Somerset.

That is an understatement. We are in horse country therefor no hunting. All of the adjoining farms are horse farms as well so no hunting. We watch the deer almost every evening. We have an apple orchard on one side of the farm. The deer stand on the hind legs and pick the apples, its amazing.
I personally do not hunt but I fished a near dead,12 point,28" wide rack, 198 lbs. dressed deer out of the pond last summer. He had an arrow in him. Obviously poachers. My buddy is an avid hunter and a taxidermist. He was soooo pissed when I took him over to him. He told me hunters wait life times for a deer of that size and I have one fall into my lap.

WOW! Just the rack alone on a deer like that could be worth a couple grand... Where I work is mostly residential and horse country. Most people live on 5 to 25 acre estates. I bow hunt a lot of properties there that people have given me permission to. When deer aren't hunted, it's amazing how many and big they can get... Watching deer and horses interact is rather entertaining! They really don't like each other!

An apple orchard without a tree stand is like a day without sunshine......I can't figure some folks out. If I didn't hunt I would lease archery hunting rights out to pay for the hay burners (horses to you equestrian lovers), but of course, I am poor and can't afford horses so I even walk to my tree stands.

Joe,
Its not hard to figure out, its not about the money!

You know how you get one million dollars with horses........ Start with 2 million!!

I bow hunt on a guy's horse farm regularly. If I see him I'll stop and talk. I am always amazed at the amount of money he spends on his horses. Many would say they are amazed at the amount of money I spend on my hunting, so I guess in the end it's all good! HAHA

OOH Yeah, been there done that with the boat thing. I had an offshore fishing service for 12 years.

Everyone has some sort of hobby, I guess that is what we work for. I agree that some people have no idea the amount of money that is involved.
