Spoonie, whoever you are, if you have a problem with my guide service then why don't you call me or email or give me your number. You can go ahead and leave your real name too, if you'd like.
In fact, I don't know why you brought up the price of a dove hunt under this topic anyway. You will find out how rich one can get off of a pay dove hunt when you start to buy that seed, spray the burndown, put out the fertilizer, spray the pre-emerge, buy a planter, buy diesel, buy tractor tires and tractor parts, run a plow thru a couple of times, spray again for johnsongrass and get out there and hoe burs. Then you can't just count all your money as you spend the time mowing lanes and paying that phone bill. Oh, don't forget that insurance that you'll need when some wacko shoots a head high bird and puts a kid's eye out. Oh, and you'll need to spend some of your newfound fortune on advertising...and I forgot to mention land rent...You'll be rolling in the money, let me tell you. Go ahead and order some gold chains to put around your neck and get a new Hummer to tour the dove field in...you've hit the big time, baby.
I apologize to all for losing my cool and judging you for drinking. I have over a dozen alcoholics in my family up to about 3 generations from me. My grandfather spent time up the road when Parchman was a farm and not a playground. Yeah, seems he killed a man while slightly intoxicated, just knocked on the door and shot him in the face. My dad's dad used to get drunk and chase him and my grandmother around the house with a butcher knife. I tend to take any form of drinking rather seriously. Social drinkers tend to become alcoholics more often than not. Maybe your little boy will be the one who takes a social drink and ends up chasing his wife and kid around with a baseball bat.
And for all of you Christians that think it's okay to drink, stop and think if having that drink in your hand might cause you to ruin your witness to an unbeliever. There are so many things in this world to bring us down, why add another?
