Hunting Season is Here

I decided to start this thread as a reminder to all you growers that hunting season is here and be aware of this. This means that people are going to be in the woods along with you and precautions are going to be needed. I have lost my share of crops this time of year for this reason.

Some things to keep in mind:

When visiting your crops remember most hunters wear ca mo and are hard to see and most deer hunters are in tree stands with binoculars and can see you way before you see them.

Try only visiting your plants on Sunday. Reason for this is hunting in most states is not allowed and lessens the risk of being spoted.

Use a different path every time when visiting your plants. If you follow the same path every time it becomes more noticeable and can be mistaken for a deer path leading a hunter directly to your crop.

Do not go to your plot in the early morning or at dusk!!! This is prime hunting time and can lead to a very serious accident. A hunter may mistake you for a deer and shoot. I don't know about you. I have heard many of story where Billy Bob got drunk off his ass and went hunting. Well Billy Bob might not see to clearly in the dim light and take a shot.

LASTLY IF YOU ARE A HUNTER AND STUMBLE ONTO SOMEONES PLOT " REMEMBER THE GROWERS AND SMOKERS CODE OF ETHICS AND WALK AWAY"
Don't be a moron and think you hit the Jackpot.

Yeah definitely be careful. I was shot at 6 years ago elk hunting and we had a kid just last month that was bear hunting and mistoke a woman jogging for a bear and killed her. And also remember because it is hunting season there are going to be more wildlife agents out and about.

Can we take a small sample?

Lit up,

I would not even risk taking a sample.

Lets say you ran into a commercial growers plot, and see this field of the most beautiful plants and your first instinct is to go check them out. At about 10 feet away you step on what you think is a pile of leaves and bam someone set a bear trap and takes your foot off.

Look I have heard of many different and insane ways that commercial growers use to protect their crops and it is not worth the risk.

Now lets say you ran into a small plot that is obviously for personal. It was not well hidden to begin with if you found it, and may already be known by the law. Then they are waiting for the grower to show up. Then you show up and take a sample. I don't think they are going to believe it is not yours.

True, true. It was more of a rhetorical question though.

I guess where I am from we don't deal with all that too often.

thats how a buddy of mine got busted. a hunter trespassed in his land and found his plants and called the cops on him
