I totally feel your pain! I bowhunted real hard this year. Have some pictures of 3 nice bucks on one property (280 acres - my wife's grandma). 15, yes I said 15 people drove that land 5 times over the 9 day gun season in minnesota. they got all 3 bucks and 3 other deer. I took two does out of there bow hunting and passed on one small 5 point (shot by a neighbor). That neighbor also shot a spike but didn't find it until a couple days later, after he shot the 5 point. What ticks me off is that there is nothing left for deer there. No wonder I never see anything on that property late season bow hunting.

They are so proud of themselves it makes me sick. beer cans under every permanent stand. hooting and hollering. countless shots get fired every time theykick up a deer. One actually shot the other in the hand while duck hunting years ago.

The one thing I find funny about it is there is 15 guys you'd think they'd want to go somewhere else. there's access to 30000 acres of public land within a mile. I hunted that land and saw 13 deer. I could have shot half a dozen of them. I wish I could convince these goof balls that they would do better driving the public land, but they never step foot on it. This is there best year ever and it's really not that great considering they had so many people.

anyway, i saw the post and thought, i can really relate to that. it's frustrating! ah, just think of how nice it will be when you shoot the big buck off the property the week before the gun season. hehe. one of those guys put his stand within 20 yards of mine. i left a nice gut pile within sight of his stand (nice hole through the heart too!). that guy is the one good guy in their group but it was kind of nice (hate to admit it) leaving that gut pile there.
