I see or hear about folks trying to get properties around here almost daily. The ranches I hunt belong to personal friends of mine and would not allow hunting at all if I weren't there. So, I'm not really keeping anyone from access. There are millions of acres of land around here that nobody hunts, for one reason or another. Mostly because of the owner not allowing hunting. Even the property I hunt is shrinking, and before too long I too will stop guiding. Probably within the very near future, I can only take a very few folks per year. After guiding for 10 or so years, soon I too will go back to hunting myself, and enjoying the sport I love. That's too bad, because I love to see people get excited about our sport. I don't need the money, nor does it hardly pay for the costs. So, it won't be long. In the end, the sport loses, and for a while, a few ranchers will make a little, then, it will get where deer hunting is. I think I will always be able to hunt somewhere around here, but nobody can really be sure. Randy
