A little background about me.

I am in Panama City, Panama and have been for the past 7 days. I went hunting on opening day and got the deer most of you have looked at in my previous post. My brother calls me a min. ago at work and tells me we have a big problem. I figured it had nothing to do with hunting being as how we have had pretty good luck out there for the past 10 years.

He said he was hunting Sunday and that as soon as it got enough light to see that two hunters were trying to get a four wheeler across our fence and on to our property. As they tried to lift the fence he yell's at the top of his lungs..... HEY!

He said the two hunters just froze up as if they had been caught escaping from jail. As he approached with bow in hand the two hunters asked him who he was. He replied in a nice southern tone of course "the man who owns your fate." So the two hunters go into how they shot this 9 point buck with a drop tine right near our fence two days ago and they are looking for him. My brother is in shock by now. He said the two guys said they didn’t know anyone hunted this land. We have been hunting the land for the past ten years almost. The guys then later in the conversation said they had killed a 12 point with two drop tines the previous year in the same spot.

As my brother probed for more questions from the two men, one of them asked who owns the stand at the bottom of the hill they were standing on. My brother tells him that it is my stand and then proceeds to ask them. If you didn’t know anyone was hunting here how did you know there was a stand at the bottom of the hill? And wouldn't it tell you something being as how the stand is new? The two guys now completely caught in one lie or another start asking if they can track there deer, and told him how they had been tracking him for two days all over the top of the ridge my brothers favorite stand is on.

My brother at this point is about to lose his mind. He says lets try and find your deer and then let’s talk to the game warden, since you two have no respect for the no trespassing signs that we have up. Or we can look for your deer, and you can expect to see us on your land in the future. Being as how the game warden lives very close the two men decided that it would be best to share the area and not say anything when we decide to tromp on there land.....

This angers me so much. Why do people not respect the law of the land and the signs they house. When I get home Thursday, I am now worried about one the deer that is probably decaying on our land, where no deer will be anywhere near it now, and two How many times have these ******* been on our land and been hunting in my stand when I am not around? I am soooooooo Pissssed
