I refered to situations in my post of who I was talking about. I see you live in central IL but I dont think you are the individual/individuals that I was dealing with. So no I was not refering to You/and whoever we is! I got all fired up and should have made my post more clear. Ihave not had a problem with outfitters moving in and causing me problems. In the past I have had problems with people trying to run me off my leased and owned property. I have had people sneak in and hunt where they are not welcomed because they think they have a right to be there when they don't. All in all I have had more trouble with local numbskulls than outfitters.
I see. Well I hate that you have those issues. Here where I am we (me and my dad) are kind of the enforcers on the property we hunt. Believe it or not it's the neighboring outfitter that we have problems with. He thinks he has the right to hunt all of the neighboring land around him when he doesn't. It's too bad that the landowner we hunt on (the same guy who sold him the 100 acres) wants to stay a friendly neighbor and not turn him in. Our farmer doesn't hunt at all so he really doesn't know what goes on back in his woods other than what we tell him. We've had problems with him putting stands up on our side, bringing hunters over, and even using our stands. He seems to be a real piece of work though I've never met him and I don't ever plan on it.
