My Husband And His Brothers Still Wanted To Hunt Birds Together. They Each Have A Hunting Dog And This Is The Main Activity The Dogs Get To Be Involved In. They Began Looking For Property To Rent Which They Could Hunt On. It Used To Be That Farmers And Other Land Owners Would Let You Hunt Their Land. The Hunters Would Drive Into The Farmers Yards And Ask Permission. Today There Are Fewer Birds And More Hunters. This Means More Competition For Land. Many Farmers And Land Owners Have Begun Advertising Their Property To Rent To Hunters. This Means That The Hunters Have The Exclusive Use Of The Land; However It Also Means That You Need To Do Some Scouting Prior To The Day Of Hunting.Last Year Late In The Summer My Husband And One Of His Brothers Went Driving Around The Country Area Where They Wanted To Hunt. They Began Asking Farmers If They Had Property To Rent For Hunting. One Older Farmer Told Them That They Could Come And Hunt And That They Did Not Have To Pay Rent. He Said He And His Wife Love Pheasant And Grouse And That He Is Too Old To Hunt Anymore. He Told Them They Could Use The Land If They Would Give Him A Grouse And A Pheasant At The End Of The Day. He Promised Not To Offer This Deal To Anyone Else. My Husband And His Brother Thought This Was A Great Deal. They Were Able To Work The Dogs, Hunt A Nice Large Piece Of Property And They Could Take Birds Over Their Possession Limit And Give Them To The Farmer, It Was A Great Deal For Everyone. They Know That When The Farmer Sells His Property They Will Again Be Looking For Property To Rent, But For Now It Is A Great Set Up.
