[QUOTE="pass-thru, post: 3545135, member: 2382"] Our property back home sort of forms the point of a triangle between to busy 2 lane roads, in a densely populated rural county. It's just under 100 acres. 10 acres planted pine along the highway, 30 or so of hay fields, 1 acre micro plots, 2.5 acre pond, the rest predominately oak and poplar forest, thinned out 12 years ago. A couple hundred acres across the main road frontage was clearcut 15 years ago. Our largest neighbor on the backside is an out of town landowner that's been in their family hundreds of years. Close to 200 acres. 20-30 acres of mature loblolly that they plan to cut soon. 25 acres of mature oak. The rest was 100 year timber that was clear cut 10 years ago. The tremendous boos from all the cutting is starting to peter out. The far side of their property is a small river at the bottom of a steep ravine. I had beaver trapped their a couple years ago where beavers were damaging their new planted pines. I spoke to them about trapping them again this year next month some time and they were eager to get out the large colony that is there now. Will always be beavers on that river. I had talked to the landowner who is elderly and doesn't hunt. Sunday I got a call from the son-in-law who runs the hunting. They're not going to wait on the beaver...they have somebody who would set that day despite 5 inches of rain the previous night....lol. Anyway he said they have 7 guys that hunt the place. State has 3 buck limit. They shoot 20-25 deer every year. If it's brown it's down. He said they have not killed any great bucks. Every year there are usually a couple nice ones that show up on my trail cam. I almost feel like throwing my arms up. If I could me with him maybe I could show some photos and stuff and talk them into to some sort of QDM. As it is, I didn't even bother over the phone. [/QUOTE]
