Well as most of you know I own a hunting lease business. I have been hunting private property for the last 3 years and can't express how awesome it is. I hunted state property for 7 years and finally got fed up with the other slobs and found my own place to hunt. I offered my services to landowners(welding etc.) but did'nt have much success with it so I decided to offer to pay their property taxes and I finally nailed down a spot.Two of my buddies that were working on the road asked if I could find them the samekinda deal and one thing led to anotherand I startedmy business.I have 3 friends that talked me into goingon ahunt with them on state land yesterday, and needless to say it reaffirmed the value of my lease and the service that I provide for other's.
The state land was beautiful and I set up in an excellent funnel around 2 crp fields, I was pumped as there were 2 massive rubs where I set up. I had my climber set up at 25' by 3:30pm and was set for a big bruiser buck to come by. Well at 4:30 the reality of where I was hunting soon set in, I had a fella walk right under my stand and with each step he took, his can call would make a hilarious ma--ma-ma-ma sound----I couldnt help but chuckle and thought "no big deal" as he disappeared over the ridge.
Well I thought that was going to be the end of the "other" hunters arriving a little late----boy, was I wrong! At 6:15pm whichI would definately put in the category of "prime time" another fella comes strolling by my stand. I thought what in the world is this dip doing walking around right now? Well, he continued to walk into the crp field and sat on a fallen tree. The guy sat down and pulled out his cell phonethen had a short converstaion with someone------this is when I could not believe my eyes!
This hunter ended his converstaion and commenced to taking his gear off, I was really getting curious as to what he was up to, he looks around for awhile and starts to un-button his drawers! And to my amazement thisguy hung his butt over the tree and took a sh#* 120 yds from my spot! [:@]
Leasing is ugly to some folks but Ifor onewas reminded of the value and why I got started leasing in the first place. This was the craziest thing I have ever experienced from another hunter-----the worst part is he did'nt even wipe![:-]
