Reflections from a New
Hunter
Kim Martin, former policy
intern at the
Quality Deer Management Association and newly minted
hunter, wrote an article titled "Why
I decided to Hunt My Own Food." If you hunt on your land,
lease it to hunters, or are simply thinking about how to get the next generation
interested in hunting, we thought Ms. Martin's remarks offer an
interesting perspective.

Discount on HuntStand Pro App Available Through AFOA
Lanford Holloway is CEO of
TerraStride, Inc.,
creator of the HuntStand Pro app, which has partnered with AFOA to offer
a 20 percent discount on
HuntStand Pro.
This app is comparable to LandGlide and onX Hunt, but at a lower annual fee--even without the AFOA discount. We
think you'll like the nationwide property ownership maps and
boundary line information, as well as the capability of letting your hunters
mark on a shared map their hunting locations to help you stay clear of
active hunting stands. You can mark on a shared map where you plan to be on
your property to help your hunters avoid setting up a hunt that might be
ruined when you arrive.
Discount code: AFOA20 -- case
sensitive -- provides a 20% discount off the normal $24.99 annual
fee.

U.S. Policy Unsettling to Tree Planting Contractors
Deb Hawkinson, President of the Forest
Resources Association,
released a
statement on the recently announced changes to the H-2B visa
program. We asked her to help us look at the details of this news and what
it means for forest landowners. One person commented on the
AFOA Facebook page: "There are no planting crews to my knowledge
that are not H-2B workers."
