The other owners are hunters, and unfortunately I think they may b e concocting stories to influence my guy into not letting me hunt anymore. I hunt this property a lot, and have never ever seen anyone enter the woods from my side. Thus leading me to believe the story is made up. Hopefully I can work it out with him since the area where I park and hunt is on the other side of where the new owners are. I'm still pissed though.
It's amazing how low people can sink to eliminate competion in the woods. 10 years ago, I got permission to hunt a 400 acre farm. Hunted it forfor several years, and shot some decent bucks every year. The only other people that hunted it in bow season was an old man and his son. The old man hadthe place to himself for about 25 years, and from what I heard, was not happy I was given permission. And the fact that I was much more successful that him and hisson didn't helpt matters. The son worked with a good friend of mine, but didn't know that he knew me. He was always whining about me hunting out there. After I had been hunting the farm for 4 years, the son began to tell my friend how him and his dad startedfeeding the farmer these made-up stories about how I was bringing other people on the farm to hunt, that I had stolen one of the son's treestands, that I was trespassing on adjacent properties, and just all kinds of stuff like that. He told my friend that they were going to get me kicked off the property one way or another. Well,it worked.The farmer's sonsaw me at a bar one night andsaid his dad (the farmer) told him to tell me there would be no morehuntingallowed on the farm, but I know for a fact that the old man and his son still hunt it. I never even bothered totell the farmer what I knew was going on. I figuredI'd be better off getting out clean before they pulled something that could get me in legal trouble. It's embarassing that people like that exist in our sport.
