My problem is with the Californicators ( and some from Nevada) that are moving up here and buying up huge chunks of land in prime hunting areas, putting multi million dollar houses on it and bitchin' about the hunters. Some of them come up, settle in and then try to impose their hippie, tree loving ideas on us. Some of these bastards even try to get mills, mines and logging operations shut down because they are afraid that it might effect some little bird. Meanwhile the livelyhoods of many longtime locals hang in the balance. In the county that I hunt in, the property values have gone from a few hundred dollars an acre to several thousand in just the past few years. My #1 huning buddy's old lady is a real estate agent for the area and she says that folks moving in from, mainly, CA and NV, are driving locals out. I realize that this is a free country and we are all free to roam wherever we wish, but is it nessesary to move into an area and try to change it to the way that you want it?
Another problem that I encountered, when I was a Deputy Sheriff, with folks from LA, the Bay Area etc was the amount of criminals moving up here to get away from their problems. We nailed a ton of kids that were constantly getting arrested in Ca that moved up here to "start a new life". Instead of cleaning themselves up, they usually kept on doing what they were running away from, only up here.
Ok, ok,,,, nuff said. Haahaaaaa..
