Did sum day walkin’ and nite stalkin’
Unwinding after a long work week;
I try to be very careful and respectful on the properties the land owners allow me to hunt. I’ve never had anything catastrophic happen like shooting a structure or cow, but little mishaps are just inevitable. I have hit barbwire while shooting through fences. A couple nights ago I shot a coyote by an old homestead. I went back with the truck to pick it up, did not see a hotwire strung across the road by the barn and drove thru it. I was able to patch it but the gate handle broke. I was able to get it to function but the spring was stretched out of the casing. I called the landowner the next morning to tell him what happened and that I was coming back out to replace it. He informed me he had already seen it that morning and replaced it and not to worry about it. I could tell he was just happy that I called to tell him.
If I make a mistake I am going to make it right and little things like this definitely don’t take away from your name. Your name means a lot to the local farmers around here. A good name can get you access to more property. Any of you ever mess up on someone else’s property?
I also like to send them videos like this after I hunt. They have gotten me additional access to neighboring farms...
