New Hunting Preserve licensed near Warren Ohio, route 82 east

[antiqucycle]

The previous 262 acre Candywood Golf Course is being converted to a exotic "hunting preserve" where you can choose from all sorts of animals to blast! The State has issued a permit good for one year to operate.

From what I hear, rumor is shotgun slugs only since its a flat area. Its been fenced and supposedly a deer drive to run wild deer out of the property.

I guess it will be stocked with amish deer, buffalo, elk, pigs, barberry sheep, whatever you book in advance.

I worked at the airport and drove past there quite a bit.... Rabbit hunted some property adjacent too it years ago.... This ought to be interesting.... Heard there's some PETA folks already up in arms about it.....

Good for them! Bring more of a financial look on hunting... Unless of coarse you feel the Bernie! Then everybody will be able to do this, not just the rich.

I live about 5 mins from it. I knew the guy who owns it daughter pretty good. They have shot some real nice bucks off that property. I guess the golf course wasn't making the rich guy enough money lmao!!!!

Just a thought, the ear tags on the bucks should be different colors so you know how many dollars that buck will cost you. Like casinos have different color players cards like gray, silver, gold($$$$), platinum($$$$$), black($$$$$$).

Also what happens if you are a lousy shot and just wound the buck in the leg? Does your "guide" blast it?

I can see somebody shooting a pig for fun and bacon and hams but to pay over $10,000 for a B&C buck to hang on a wall will show all your friends your a phony baloney.

Serious question, if this "preserve" needs a state license because its a for profit venture, why shouldn't all land owners who lease deer hunting land for a profit, need a preserve license too?

I'd say landowners lease is far less than a "preserve" in dollars that are made... And wouldn't a lease be taxable income for the state and IRS? That is if reported....

 

[giles]

I'm not sure the legal difference between income and profit, but I'm sure it's something along those lines.

Also with the fence, this make it a farm operation and you are no longer hunting the states property.

Years ago I was hunting private land we had permission (have now lost permission) and I passed on a mountain goat and some sort of other sheep thing. Seen them several times, we were told they escaped from one of these preserved in the county and followed the Mohican river system.
