RJ, that sux, the first thing I would have done was approached the trespasser.
Should have kept your date with me...I called in and had downed another one for the year. I've had gobblers under 75 yards every day of the season except maybe 3...some won't committ the last 25 yards or so....no I'm not rubbing it in, maybe you need some River Valley sweet talk.
Hang in there and keep your chin up. It's about the hunt.....good luck.
Yeah I know.......haha...hind sight is always 20/20 though. After such an awesome season last year (worked 5 birds into closer than 100 yards and called in 2 for pops and I in 2 days of hunting on my place) and all the digital pics I have gotten I thought this year was going to be great. Unfortunately word got out of my success last year and the neighbors had to come see what we had cooking on our place I guess. I did try to find who was on our place, however by time I got down there they seemed to be gone. I think I know who it is and will be focusing on trying to make it obvious that we are in there on a consistent basis. They only come into the side of the property furthest from my Dad's house because they know no one goes in there except for me and that I don't live in the area. Our taxidermist lives right near there and I have some horns to drop off for him next weekend so hopefully he can let me know who is going in there and spread the word for me and watch it a bit. Might have to give him permission in trade for being my eyes and ears. I will still have to have you come up for a hike this summer sometime to check it out, should be some good bowhunting this year and I would love to have you come up if you have time.
