I will send nobody a check as a matter of fact I think someone owes me a check. Do you know how many screaming farmers I help out each year and get diddly for my services . Maybe one of them needs to Write me out a check for my Black Jack dog I lost lets see I think 3000.00 might begin to cover it maybe you could write me a check . What about my Daisy dog I lost helping a farmer out controlling his hog problem maybe he would cut me another check for 3000.00 that might cover her. That don't even begin to cover the dogs I have had hurt and have lost. What about all the vet bills who helps me nobody am I bitching not really.
the difference here is that the $3000 the farmer loses is part of his lively hood. it is part of what he depends on to live his life. the $3000 you spend on your dogs or whatever is all part of a hobby that you choose to be a part of. the truth is that we the hog hunters and the farmers depend on each other. they need us to help save their crops and we need them because they own the land we are so priviliged to hunt on. its a partnership that i would never put a dollar amount on. if you do try then you should go buy your own 1000 acre ranch plant crops on it and then do the comparison for your couple thousand dollars worth of dogs and equipment.
