I'm so mad I could spit! I had the "new" property..the guy gave me verbal permission over the phone at the time he was busy and couldn't sign the slip. But he said to follow up after my vacation to get the written permission as required by Ohio Law. I just called him, figured I could do some more in depth scouting this weekend. (it's where the last batch of pics came from).

He told me a sale is pending on the land and he doesn't want to chance messing it up by letting anyone hunt it this year. He said if the deal falls through he'll call me! What could I do..but say "thank-you sir". So now I got a less than a month to the season and have lost 2 tracts that total about 400+/- acres.

Kinda late to be knocking on doors..but I'm gonna have to hit it! I can't freakin believe it... If I hit this lotto for 300 million I'm gonna buy Kansas and post the whole frigging thing at the borders!
