Ladies and Gentlemen of Predator Masters,
I am not sure if this is the place to air out my concerns/frustrations/annoyance but, I would be very interested in your honest feedback.
Perhaps I am being too critical?
Approximately 5 years ago i met a gentleman on PM who seemed at the time shared my interest. We began a Coyote hunting relationship thinking it would evolve into a "partnership". Understand that the 7 years prior to that I had invested a substantial amount of time, effort and energy in securing permission to hunt numerous private ranches and build rapport with these Ranchers. I was happy to bring this individual along to hunt on these ranches with me. Despite during the 5 years we hunted together only two times was I taken to ranches he had secured. To make a very long story short, the relationship never turned into the partnership and close to a year ago I ended things altogether There were numerous conversations as well as not so subtle hints, to no avail. So imagine my surprise to learn this individual ( See below) has recently started contacting a ranch I secured asking if he could hunt there now. Out of ALL the tens of millions of acres in WY/CO/NE, he can't even be creative enough to seek out something different. He ONLY knows of these people BECAUSE of me. I was floored Friday evening when I stopped at a ranch with a 12pack of Ice Cold Budweiser in hand for a gentlemen whom I have cultivated a relationship with the past 5 years to be told this individual had recently "stopped by to chat about hunting there". Where does he get off? How many ranches did he visit? It is now my #1 priority to reach out to each and every ranch in CO/NE to remind these ranches who they have a relationship with. My current situation has changed such that I will now be able to hunt more often, imagine my frustration at the thought of having to compete for kills on land I secured?!?!
Let em' rip folks - Appreciate it as always!
