In my younger years I hunted a little. Not much, mostly rabbits and squirrels. Now in my old age I've gotten the bug and started preparing to hunt seriously a year ago. I have the bow, the gun and the equipment to get it done. Also, my only son has come of age to begin hunting, so I have his 243 ready. Now the problem, what in the heck is going on with all these thousand dollar leases????
What's a guy to do if he just wants to take his kid out for some hunting and doesn't have hidden gold or any family with land? Would like some opportunities at rabbits and squirrels, but also some deer. It seems these days that if you want a quality hunting location you have to have some serious resources or contacts in the right places. How do you go about getting these. I've asked around but most people don't want to share, or should I say jeopardize their opportunities. And I can't say as I blame them.
My folks have 5 acres, but that hardly provides opportunity. I can sight my equipment in and play hunter but other than that it's just an exercise in futility.
Any advice on what a man and his son with limited means can do to get some quality hunting without fighting the masses at public land?
Thanks
