With the mild weather, I just took a drive around the perimeter of some rented fields to check drainage ditches, etc. Found about 20 decoys(goose/duck) in the corners of my wheat and corn stubble fields, along a neighbor/property line/ditch. Imagine my surpise that these inanimate objects do like the real thing, and migrate to the better eating! I stopped back to make sure the property owner hadn't given permission(I was sure he hadn't) before I destroy the things.
They have been out there through lots of wind, and what angered me the most, was the nice steel rod base, from which the duck decoys had blown off, that would make a perfect tractor/combine tire poker.
I haven't been able to discern any good any hunter has ever done me as a property owner/crop farmer. And they always leave something behind. I have to deal with one hunter(landlord). But there will be no more extra permission for anyone for any reason.(The name on the bottom of some of these decoys is someone I know)
I wonder how many extra blood pressure pills I should take tonight?
