I am out in the woods every day and most likely have seen more game than many of you will in a lifetime. I used to hunt years ago but the thought of another day in the forest as recreation just doesn't work for me any more.

That all said I HATE hunting season, not one hunt has gone by in the last 10 years that some drunk hunter hasn't shot up something of mine in the woods. We deal with gates being torn down, theft, fuel storage tanks shot full of holes and windows shot out.

The two months starting next week are going to cost me sleep and extra wages for security just so somebody can have a so called "sport".

One new addition to the mix lately is the huge influx of Latino's out hunting, the passing on of hunting traditions from father to sons are absent with many of the new "immigrants".

I have seen groups of as many 30 banging pots and pans driving for deer with a couple of teens with rifles in wait.Later on in the day those with pistols practice their drive by skills while finishing off the last of the beer.
