Hmm I kind of wish you had told me they would run me off with a pitchfork, now that idea is gonna roll around in my head for a while until my new grandson takes my mind off it. Usually when asking a landowner around here for permission to hunt we don't even take our firearms, we bring some tools etc, and talk with them maybe work some and exchange phone numbers so if they need help with something they can call, only very occasionally will they call us for help, but we drop whatever we are doing and go because knowing farmers if they got to that point it was either a test or they really needed help. Follow up with a christmas card and some summer sausage and even if we quit hunting there for some reason we still have a friend there. Don't know if I could drive all the way to Texas and work it quite that way or not, but its something to cogitate upon.
