Starts gun hunting season up here in Wisconsin. It does for a 9 day stretch. This is my bread and butter time. I rent out my land, the barn, a few trailers, etc. Amenities include electricity, rest rooms, water (hot where available), sewage hook up, even the services of an on-site Nurse and/or Nurse Practitioner. I also have an indoor pool I rent out. I deal strictly in cash or bartered goods and services. While still a male dominated event, more families seems to be getting involved including females.
To me at least, hunters are their own breed of people, apart from your gun enthusiast that is. There are some pretty terrific guys up here who took their time with some urban bred girl, and taught her how to track, hunt and kill, deer, among other animals. This includes field dressing. To me, it's learning a survival skill. I'm somewhat good with a rifle but far deadlier with a handgun. At any rate, I can put meat on the table and cook it too.
I get people from Wisconsin and Illinois but also from Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and even Kentucky. Always good camaraderie, respect and an attitude of fun.
