Just out of curiosity???

Good luck RD.....I would for dang sure stop by and talk with the landowner since he invited you. You might take some pics of hogs that you've caught in the last few years, just in the off chance that he might want to see some of your 'results'. If this landowner isn't a nit-wit, he'll be onto the so called pros pretty quick and kick them to the curb. Remember the phrase......"no brag....just fact" goes a long way with folks from my generation and older. Be sure to leave him some kind of card or something so that he can have a quick and easy way to get in touch with you if the pros don't pan out.
