That sucks man, I feel your pain. There is a town road on my great aunt's section of our family owned belt of property in PA that was supposedly abandoned in the 1950's that now a landlocked landowner is forcing the town to reopen. The road is a washed out logging trail at this point that is so wet it buriedour 4wd Kubota to the frame. Because the town cannot find proper paperwork on file stating it was officially abandoned, they have to provide him tax dollar paid access to his property right through and less than 100 yards from the main buck bedding area onmy families property. My family has put a TON of money into lawyers to try and prevent this, but the guy is convinced he can sell his landlocked 6 acres into at least 4 lots for big $$$. To give you an idea, I just bought 26 acres of hill top meadow with 5 mile views less than 1/4 mile from there for around $1500 an acre, and this guy wants $60k for his 6 acres in a creek bottom that won't perk. We all put in bids for it and he decliined............

The town has court order to proceed june 1st. The surveyors already marked it too. I have very mixed feelings about this and can definitely relate to your thoughts. [:@]

Food plots are a great idea and also something I am doing more of because of this. Food plots are going to the other end of the belt of property. We also created a LOT of bedding cover elsewhere and a sanctuary on the opposite side of the propertyduring the logging projectlast year so I am confident we will still see good deer on a consistent basis but it isstill very frustrating and doesn't settle right.

I wish your family best of luck with this, it is sad to see this happening and makes you wonder where our grand kids will hunt.
