HeHeHe, Little Reds fired up.
Im with ya on part of it Red. And, I dont plan on comin to VA to hunt. Our states are actually alot alike, so I can do most of it right here. Do you got bears? I may come out ifn you take me bear huntin.
As far as the private land/public land issues, its the same here. Unless you know someone, private land is out. Its almost impossible to get somewhere to hunt without leasing or knowing someone very well. MO does have a rich conservation department and lots of public land, relative to other midwest/eastern states, but it gets hammered and not that good in most cases. But I seriously doubt theres much difference from here and VA. I doubt that would change much. It may shorten your seasons? Maybe not.
Im with you on religion. I am born and raised southern baptist. I dont go to church anymore, but do have stronger beliefs than most. My choice to not go to church is personal and deals with hypocrits and church politics that take away from the purpose to begin with. Our country was founded as a Christian country and it turns my stomach to hear the happy holidays bs. But, on the other hand, our constitution also allows for freedom of religion. Im not about to try and tell someone what they can and cant do on that issue. Mostly because I think if we compromise one article, that will leave the rest vulnerable.
Were alot closer than you think Red. Give em hell.
