I hunted on a lease with my brother for several years. He had the lease for several years before I started hunting with him. He had one area he always hunted that no doubt was the best spot on the lease. He killed 2 P&Y out of the same tree. I never once thought about hunting over there while he was there. Now on theweekends he wasn't hunting he didn't care if I hunted his stand though. I always felt that was his spot. He scouted the area and hunted there way before I got on the lease.

If you can do you own food plots I would start with that. You plant the right stuff and they will come for miles. But I think I would have already started doing that if you had permission to. If you have cows on the lease I think you should fence the plots to keep them out.You will have the upper hand I think. And will probably have the BIL totally pissed!
