I have a good mix. Dan does as well in NY.

Have I told you Jeff that one of my favorite stands on Dan's property is coined the "Dumper" stand? It's on a corner where Dan's property, public property, and a third property owner all come together. 2x years ago I was sitting in that stand when a hunter from the third property owner came right to the line, dropped his trousers, and pinched off a loaf right in front of me. Much to my horror, he realized I was there halfway through and didn't seem to care in the least.......just finished his business and went on his way after.There is nothing I can remember in my life more uncomfortable and awkward than eye contact from another man that is pooping.

At my place I have about 8x neighboring landowners......some good some bad.

One neighborwe have a wounded pursuit only agreement with, but he also won't shoot a buck unless it's 8 points and wider than it's ears. He's known in town as being a PITA, but that's only because when he finds trespassers he looses his cool. He's the best neighbor I could wish for. He has around 100 acres that I know of and also has food plots, etc.

Another neighbor supposedly gave us "exclusive" permission to hunt this year, but turns out 2x more were given permission to hunt during rifle season. No one can archery or turkey hunt there except Dan and I at this point which is good. I'm really consideringto offer him a lease next year though to give us exclusive access. Problem here is thata LOT of people trespass on his patch and/or hunt right on the line of his property which will be difficult to monitor. I'm hopefully going to be able to minimize this next year,I already know that at least one person shot a deer with no permission off his patch this year.......less than 150 yards from one of my food plots.

We have a crew of other neighbors that trespassed for years on the property before I started managing it and before we posted it, but it seems that their traffic has at least been minimized. They still trespass though occasionally, but it only seems to happen during rifle season.The last weekend I was there I found their tracks in the snow walking right through the main sanctuary area that I keep off limits except the last week of archery season......... I haven't caught them in person yet but I will be prosecuting them when I do and can't wait for the day.

One other neighbor seems to give permission to everyone and their brother to hunt, and because it's all steep sidehill with an old road on top of it on our side of the line they like to walk our side and hunt it. This is where I caught the one trespasser during our rifle season this year, and where I got pictures of another while he tampered with my camera.

There is also an old dirt path that is "technically" a town road that runs right through one of the best parts of the property that technically anyone can walk through, even though we own both sides of it.Hopefully soon we will legally be able to havethis gated and can restrict access to it though. There is a landlocked landowner that has 6 acres back in there that forces the town to not technically abandon this road and turn it over to us, but hopefully one of these days he will accept our bid on that land and sell out, giving us the ability to have the town road officially closed. As of today, this landlocked landowner has turned down bids from us that are approximately 200% above the real value of the property, because he's delusional and thinks that he can sell it in 1 acre lots and turn into a development (it's swamp land for the most part and would never perc test). He's VERY old though and I have a feeling when he kicks the bucket his kids will cash out quickly on our offer.
