RE: Do you get along with neighboring landowners?
Absolutely not.
He purchased a good majority of the land we used to hunt, then was going to continue to let us hunt it, but changed his mind.
He went so far this year as to drive his truck 50 yards from my stand on Thanksgiving morning, get out, walk underneith my stand, and ask in a very loud voice why we hadn't called to let him know we would be hunting near his property. Mind you, Washington is a free chase state, had we shot an animal we would have had every right to retrieve our animal from his property; with or without contacting him. We would have called to let him know, of course, but this was ridiculous.
Had I not been twenty feet up a tree, my boot probably would have been two feet up his ass.
