having a lil dilema...please respond
I need y'all's opinions. Please read the belowhypathetical situationand tell me if you feel that a person who hunts this land is unethical or illegal.
Bob and George have a small piece of land which is basically smack dab in the middle of Fred's farm...all of them get along great and help each other out when needed....about two years ago the landowners got together to decide if they should put property lines up (fences).....after surveying and weighing all the options both sides agreed to keep it the way it's been for the last 50yrs...meaning that Bob and George (and their families/related by blood or marriage) can hunt up to the pastures but not in the pastures.....technically that means that about 20 acres of hardwoods on the south side belongs to Fred....so do you need written permission from Fred if you are related to Bob or George in order to hunt legally? do you need written permission from Bob and George?
Are you unethical if you do harvest an animal in that 20 acres if you don't have the written permission?
i feel as though the landowners have a gentlemans agreement so written permission is not needed ...and if you harvest a deer you're not being unethical or illegal...and if written permission was ever was needed then Fred would be more than happy to comply at a moments notice....but it's always been a verbal agreement...since day one.
