When I used to grow, I went deep into some woods, planted my seeds, and went back everyonce in a while to check on them. If they were ever found... Not my problem, my primarary form of defense was evasion, made sure the feds would never link it to me. Luckily, I didn't do it for long and I wasn't caught. If you are going to grow, the last thing you want to do is resort to violence when somebody discovers your spot, you better be able to get the hell out of there at the first sign of trouble.

It isn't the perfect place to grow, if it was the perfect place to grow they wouldn't have gotten caught. If I was growing that many plants, it would be at least be a few hundred miles from civilization.
I have a friend from Kentucky whose family grows on the farm. I swear that his grandpa has shot at least three people for trespassing on their property. They don't fuck around. They don't like strangers out in the sticks.

You ever hear the song "Rocky Top Tennessee"? Haha...Listen to that one.

I agree with Fengzi. When people are investing alot of time and effort into a cash crop they naturally become very protective. Not to mention that people who live up in the mountains or out in the sticks could shoot you and kill you and you would never be found. :smokin:
