Everything comes to an end.

Probably the best piece of hunting property I've ever hunted was sold as of yesterday. 1000 acres in bourbon county Kansas, we hunted it for 5 years and the deer were unbelievable. If you know anyone in unit 11 that might lease some land. Thanks

That's a real bummer. It sucks to have a good piece of property like that and just suddenly lose it. I know the feeling well. Unfortunately it's just part of our world now
Hope you find one just as good or better

Have always said "if you got a good place to hunt you need to start looking for another."
Good luck in your search.

Sage advice right there.

OP, sorry to hear your bad news. Hunting ground like that is something most hunters never experience, only dream about. Looks like you have some great memories and no doubt stories to tell.

Hate you lost it man. I'm really happy you got the monkey off your back the last year and killed a great Kansas buck. You put in a lot of hours hunting there.

That sucks, man. Awesome deer and great memories I'm sure. I'll be joining you in that boat soon. I started with around 600 acres several years ago. I'm down to roughly 65 acres now. 30 of that has to be hunted with bow only because of new houses coming in constantly. Owner has been selling a parcel at a time the past few years.

I still think about the 800 acres I had a lease on but lost it a few years ago. Someone came by and gave $30,000 a year for it and we were out. It was fantastic and close. It had everything. Now I mainly hunt WMA and sneak a little in my neighborhood with the crossbow. I'm just worried a deer will go and die in front of someone's house.
Where can I hit one to drop it where it stands with a crossbow? We have way to many deer here and already five fawns.

Man that's a shame. Wish I was in a position to buy another chunk of land. Have new folks around us sitting on our lines on the two most prime sides. Sucks to put in years of work only to have others come in, who don't own the land and have some nothing to improve it, kill the deer you had been watching and waiting for the perfect time to hunt.

Hate it for you , happened to two different leases to me .

 

[buckbstr_1]

Yes it does and I hate that for you. I lost a piece of Madison county property that held some great bucks just outside the city limit. Just be thankful for the memories.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Sorry to hear that...but looks like yall have made some great memories...now its time to start a new chapter.

Hard to believe you could keep them fenced in with that short of a fence.

I know it sucks. That is a lot of meat. I hope you find another good spot.

 

[muddyboots]

Dang drew. I guess enjoy the time you spent there. I've lost some good ones over the years. None in that caliber though. Just out of curiosity do you know how much it brought??
