Letter to the Editor: A simple pleasure...

A simple pleasure that I have each spring is to go out to my farm and look for sheds (deer antlers). This year was to be special because of being shut in and was to be a good day for getting some exercise. So I go out to the farm, excited, but after a few minutes of looking, I noticed all kinds of 4-wheeler tracks... you guessed it... the field had already been cleaned of sheds.

At first I thought "Had I sold this section of land?" SoIwenttooneofthe seven “No Hunting & No Trespassing” posters, and my name was still on them. So now I figure the person who did this was either blind or couldn't read. But then how could they find the shed?

To me this is kind of like going over into someone's yard and taking something, just because I want it, so that makes it ok. So to the person(s) who came into my field, hope you enjoy them... and by the way... I have a good idea who you are.
