American Hinting Guides

I did not know that. Why? Because the geese aren't the landowner's?

.....not like the geese own the land, but the landowner's don't own the geese. I don't understand why the landowner can't be paid for access, it's his land.

Who's this farma guy?

Generally good relations here.

One thing I've stipulated as of late, after permission is granted, is to phone the morning you're heading out.

Been caught a couple times where numerous individuals have permission and they all seem to end up at the same place at the same time. Also been caught where I'm soil sampling later in the fall and I can hear ricochets flying past me! A courtesy call certainly helps avoid that

So, what your saying is, you can't deny access to an outfitter to make money off of the land you own? They can just set up shop anywhere they want? It kind of seems like that's the way the conversation is going. I let some guys from Iowa hunt birds once, kicked them out after a couple days. Never again. I also have learned to only allow close friends and family, and myself to hunt big game on my property as well. I'm done fighting with hunters. Go set up a BBQ in someone's back yard in the city and bring your friends, see how that goes over.

You can absolutely deny access to your property. You just can't charge for access to the King's game.
Only etiquette requires access to one at a time. And if the hunters are smart, they keep the squabbles to themselves. If someone else there, just leave. That's where the friction exists.

Americans have always gifted stuff, Shrimp from Carolinas, cheese from Wisconsin, Kentucky Bourbon...or just rum from store here.

I allow most people to hunt on any my land anytime, but only for a couple days at a time. We have one American outfitter here and is very generous, we’ve received hats, bunny hugs, Milwaukee grease guns and leaf blowers and many other things.
