Initially I thought the concept was great. Link up reputable hunters with willing land owners, awesome. Once I looked into the operating conditions such as the membership fee and then the fees from farmers I was not a fan. Will largely undercut private setups already in place and further reduce private land opportunities to those who already can’t afford to pay for a deer as it is whilst reducing opportunities for people to establish a relationship with a landowner IMO. It also seems contradictory to me that the website is pitched at helping farmers with pest control yet the ones doing the work are the ones being charged.
Let’s say I did want to go and pay for a private land deer, I would much rather go and choose one of the hundred other options already available and support someone’s small business/guiding setup. The concept was so close to being good I thought just not quite there.
