Had a forty year old neighbor with a twenty year history of drug abuse that I use to let hunt on my rural property ask for permission to hunt the property again. I was not aware he had such an extensive history with drug abuse or I would have never let him on the property in the first place.

He was arrested for manufacturing crystal meth back in November of 2006 and served a couple of months in a county jail. Now he wants permission to hunt on my property again. He says he’s been clean for a year, but the guy comes across now as slick and manipulative. Too friendly. Too pushy friendly.
