Been thinking about opportunities of hunting big private ranches and got to further thinking about ranches I could have hunted had things worked out just a bit differently.
My grandfather used to own this place. He sold it in the 30's, I think, for < 1$ per acre as I recall the story. It is now up for sale, or what's left of it, for $30M. http://www.ranchmax.com/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=57
My dad used to work here just before I was born. I think his 31 Ford truck, which I still have, was from there. http://www.alamosanews.com/V2_news_articles.php?heading=0&page=&story_id=4635
I was born here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Maria_Baca_Grant_No._4 Fished on it a couple of times in the 60s, but never hunted it. I do remember dad coming home with venison from time to time. I guess hunting season was year round back then.
My brother used to work for a bank that specializes in loans made to farmers/ranchers. He used to get offers all the time to hunt their property. Told me he could not accept the offer due to ethics. I told him to ask them if I could take his place; I have no ethics to worry about.
What is your story?
Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?
