Well I got access to a 55 acre piece of property to hunt this year,i hunted it all bow season with out trouble,then muzzy opened up and i've had 3 people try to hunt it.Im tired of fooling with these idiots..I was told by the land owner I am the only one who has ever asked to hunt the place,and as far as he is concerned I am the only one allowed to hunt it. Just went out there a few min's ago to put my trail cam over a scrape I found earlier today.I get there and there is a truck sitting in the drive to the place.I put on my orange and took off down the road.I walked the road all the way to the end with out finding them.I didn't feel comfortable walking through the woods while someone was hunting.Afraid of getting shot.I left them a note on their truck to call me.But honestly I think im just gonna pull my 3 ladder stands and chaulk this place up to the trespassers.I don't want to keep bothering the land owner,because I feel he is getting aggrevated with it.His family ownes land after land and are not the type to post it or prosecute trespassers.Im afraid my ladder stands are gonna come up missing one of these days.
 
Well the idigt called me and I got the whole " i've been hunting this property all my life" According to this guy,the Dad to the guy who owns it now gave him permission to hunt it about 20yrs ago.Well the Dad died about 7 years ago and willed it to the son who i've been talking too.Im just gonna pull my stands and let it go.If I ever want to hunt it i'll just pack my climber in,but im not gonna put anymore time into it.
 
Tough spot to be in there man. I think pulling your stands would be a safe bet. You never know what can happen to them if you have this much of a problem. Who knows who else is going in there that you don't know about still. And who else secretly has permission to hunt. The only possible way to get it all sorted out is to make the landowner take it upon himself to call the guy and tell him that he can no longer hunt. But if he is already irritated at the fact then it may be a lost cause. But its all a judgment call really.
 
The guy lives right across the road from the property..So even if I do get it through to him that he can no longer hunt it, im sure i'd still have issues...(revenge)
 
Welcome to my world Cec. I own the land I hunt and it's a continuing problem that never ends. :( But, on the bright side, they WILL be caught one of these days....and oh boy at the pent up frustration that will come out...as I call the GW and have them prosecuted. ;)
