All you have to do is own a lot of land, and a few farm animals, and it becomes a nice big tax write-off. At least, that's what all the rich "farmers" I know do it for. One of them is a doctor who barely knows anything about farming, and has a foreman who runs the show. Another used to be an inspector in the polyethylene field, and he made plenty of money doing so. The third made his on chain restaurants. There's plenty past those few, and I'm just talking in 1 small county. I'm not arguing that you shouldn't be able to be rich and have land, either.I still don't think, after paying megabucks and taking "losses", charging hunters for a natural resource is anything other than simple greed. Much like people that buy land with navigable water trying to charge people that want to boat, canoe, or kayak through it, or fencing across it entirely. It's not legally right to do so, yet people insist on doing it until they get caught, then turn around and do it again.As stated earlier, loss of places to game bird hunt is kind of ridiculous. All animals tend to return to places they've been before. Aside from that, they will find places where they know hunters are not around. My Grandpa has 10-12 bucks a year proving this, primarily during hunting season. No one asks him to hunt, so the property doesn't get hunted, and deer stay there.</blockquote>
