Fellow hunters, it has been a while since I have been on this site. I moved a few times and then worked on my man cave. I will have to post the pics with last year's big 11pt. with a 21.25" inside spread. Well, that was my catch up. I have over 200 acres of land to hunt BUT one individual has a nuisance permit and is grossly diminishing the herd. I was told that the person took "over a dozen and a half" this year alone. You ask why I still hunt and the answer is that the deer that are left are 150 class. Years after years of this occuring, the wise bucks have found a way to live in the area. Last year, I found several deer with poor rifle shot placements, which is really depressing. To make matters worse, last year a shot was within 80 yards of me as I was walking back to my vehicle with bow in hand and spotlight on me. I made a few comments but nothing changed. I certainly have many options but wanted to know the law before making a decision. Suggestions welcome and good luck to all.

The One Question; When to move
I never looked at a site as permanent. Few have unchanging control over a herd or fishing hole. Hunters should scout for backup areas that year. Worked for me many times. It may seem a waste of time, but sometimes changes in the area come suddenly. Hunters should be ready for change.
Fishing provided a good example to me. While I recouping from a foot injury, I avidly fished the one hole, then a tremendous hole. But when I got well, I started spreading out. Many times I stopped to say hello and move on to new, but not proven areas. It was a risk and I wasted time to many.
Then a year or two when I returned , all my fishing buddies were gone. I noticed the ol hole had started to fill in drastically. I missed my ol buddies, and I went on to fish my over ten spots. Their hole, my former hole, was gone. I never saw where they fished the river again.
My change of fishing spots hadn't been wasted. I had a whole bunch of new places to catch trout. Their ol fishing hole was gone. They must have thought finding a new place was a waste of time.
