Helicopter Mother took little boy to first day of school, tells teacher, "My little Snowflake is very sensitive, so if he misbehaves, just punish the child next to him."
Worst case of that shit was when my wife was teaching violin out of the house. Salisbury U teacher brought her 1st grader in and he was intent on flipping the light wall switch on and off. Mom suggested for me to move wall switch! That bitch didn't last long.
Don't think anyone mentioned the Frederick Izaak Walton chapter north of Urbana - are they still operating? I was a member there briefly but it didn't work out. Several of the Cresap RSOs were in leadership there at the time, for better or worse. I personally didn't have any trouble with those guys, quite the opposite actually, but I heard some rumblings around that some did.
In general, I can feel for the OP's situation - I'd always prefer to be out in the woods/on a farm somewhere without "authority figures" breathing down my neck. I'm actually going to talk to my financial advisor guy tomorrow about seeking ways to pull out some cash for a land acquisition in WV. The dollar is already taking a beating - might not be a terrible time to bail on the market and diversify a bit more.
