Too true. While I don't hunt anything other than dove, I let certain folks hunt deer on my property. I do, however, only let bow hunters and black powder guys hunt.
I also built a duck blind that I let a young man guide out of with paying customers. He has all the decoys. john boats, etc. We split the proceeds 55/45. You'd be amazed what people will pay for a day in a duck blind. The young mans father sets up breakfast. etc. They have a long waiting list.
For dove, my son and I will only hunt with .410s...
