if there is that much money in hunting, then a shrewd outfitter or guide should hire helicopters. Almost all land has some access be it deeded or prescriptive to include an old ‘goat trail’ or wagon trail, or an old surveyors blazed line. The rights to that access will be at issue.
The landowners should beware as the Courts could set a precedence for access to public lands – think beach access.
Our area has been infested with a couple of filthy rich doctors from South Carolina buying deer hunting land. Over 15 years ago I stopped to offer help to what appeared to be pickup that was out of place and discovered it was a film crew from some show about hunting that was based in South Carolina.
I have circumnavigated NC but have only spent about 20 minutes of my life in SC.
They need to go hopping in Missouri where they’re from. The gall of these people is breath-taking. Creeps and scum.
Of course there’s the bigger question of “Federal” lands in Wyoming. 77% of the state is occupied and it shouldn’t have happened. The lands should have become State when the State entered the union in 1890, the feds went back on the promise to dispose of these lands and here we are. Kick the Feds out and get back all the minerals that were taken,,,,,,plus interest.
These creeps have plenty of “Federal” lands to hunt. Go back to Missouri whence you came from,,,,,get lost.
My comment, I hope you know, was tongue in cheek, but I know the problem well. We met the owners of a NC beach house that we had rented for several consecutive years and found that they were from Illinois. Another one with a pool is owned by a software mogul in Michigan.
Locally, Cary, NC, is known as the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees. They brought money, though, so they’re welcome.
