So 5 years or so ago, my brother asked me to make his client, "Bob", a bow. I did so just for my brother but the client turned out to be really cool and let my kids and me come out to his property and squirrel hunt and shoot his private 3D range.
So this week my brother tells me that "Bob" wants us to come out to his place and "kill some of these dang deer". Mike went on Saturday and saw 12 including a buck chasing a doe. Today he tells me that "Bob" is welcoming us with open arms, that we have access to his 90 wooded acres, that he has a wall tent on it we can use and that no one gun hunts it so it is a deer sanctuary come gun season. Only 2 other guys hunt it occasionally and it's only 25 minutes from my front door.
These days, when access is so hard to come by, it is refreshing to know that getting it the old-fashioned way, through good relationships, is still possible. I never expected this one but am very thankful for it.
I am blessed to have 2 other private properties to hunt but they are both 1.5 hours away and make for a long day hunt and early mornings. This one will allow more hunting and less driving.
I guess my message is to not give up on getting access. Keep trying by conducting yourself in business and personal affairs in a courteous and upright way and maybe you'll "get" as lucky as Mike and me.
