Thanks everyone for all the great input on this.

I think the decision Im going to make on this is to talk with the landowner, or as the case may be, his caretaker, as the landowner has passed away and the caretaker is who I now deal with. Ive known him for years and he is aware of what went on this past season. Im not sure just how well my cousin knows him.....

After that, I'll see where he (caretaker)is coming from on this. If he seems to be pissed enough to ban my cousin, I MAY get back on there but as someone said, it may be ruined now anyway and if he loses access, he may (is) vindictive enough to sabotage the area for me anyway.

After this all happened, I gained access to a pretty good chunk of land about 3 miles away from all this. The landowner has known my family for years, worked with my sister, so that makes it easier. It borders a HUGE posted area that manages the area for deer/wildlife so in the long run it may work to my advantage.

Thanks again everyone!
