Hunting and trapping ain't what it used to be. Time was we just asked permission and it was a mutual benefit situation. Gave the farner a rabbit or two, some deer meat; he got less crop damage. Now it's all about money and "rights".

This isn't about farmers. It's in wildlife management areas. The places where normally no one would be allowed to trap.

But I know what you meant and agree. All these out of state and hunting clubs I believe you are talking about, yes?
