Of course, I can't speak for Matt, Jeremy or Jon, so I am only guessing that the state does not ask or tell them to get on Aldeer for any reason. It does appear to me that a few of the state employees enjoy hunting and hanging out here with other hunters. It appears that they are acting on their own, not as employees but as hunting buddies. I for one, get a lot of helpful info from them. I also believe their presence draws more traffic than it repels. If an advertising fee must be paid to keep the lights on, that's understandable though. I doubt you will get any cooperation from Montgomery so I'll miss their posts.
