[QUOTE="DMD, post: 5506858, member: 2937"] On a similar, but a little different note, I was on a brand new lease on some bowater land one time. It was like 2200 acres, but only about 50 acres of it was really huntable, the rest were thick pines. The 50 huntable acres were little strips of hardwoods along creeks. One of the club members had put orange, surveying tape on every patch of hardwoods. Every single one of them. Why? There is was no other explanation but he was letting you know that was his spot. We had a club meeting and brought that up. I asked "what does the orange tape mean?" The lease president said - "he's just marking spots so he can find them". I said, "no he's not, because he's marked every single huntable spot on the lease." How can you not find every huntable spot on the lease without orange tape??? They were hardwoods on the creeks, everyone of them on roads you drove in on. They weren't marking a trail to walk in on. I told the president and the whole club - "He's marking his territory to let us know those are his spots - there is no other explanation". When you are hunting with other hunters on a property, you can't just mark your spot and expect everyone else to avoid it. Unless there are rules that allow that. It's just not right. On my lease, we share whatever we have. I have a few ladder stands out, but anyone in the club knows, they can call and ask, and I'll always let them hunt them. They would do the same for me.
