Default First cut on my hunting land...

Well, since last year, a serious hay cutter come on to the land i hunt, fertilize/lime, lots of chicken poop, planted various hay forages.... basically dropped a lot of money in it.

We dont exactly see eye to eye, he's basically kicked me off the land with any type of vehicle during the hay season.... UNDERSTANDABLE. But he also make these little snyde(sp) remarks about things, that just rub me wrong..... that land is special to me, I grew up on it. Not mine, but have always been there and always had permission to hunt, If I ever lost this land, I would most likely literally cry... So i try to tread lightly, as i figure he has more authority than i do, even though ive been there longer technically, but he's probably paying the owner for the hay, Unfortunatley, I really dont know.... But The land owner still allows me to hunt and everything as of now, So i cant really complain.

So I see he has made his first cut, the grass is brown and dead now, and it just so happens, when i drive by on my way home from work, something catches my eye, so i swing in drive down into the fields and check it out, I really just wanted to see the fields also, anyway, ended up just being a big house cat, but on my way out, their he sits... Im like well, crap. So i put on my friendly face and get out and go up and talk to him, told him the place looked good, i just wanted to come ride thru and check it out, he's says, Oh ok. We talk a little bit, and i ask him, if he'd been seeing many deer, he said yeh, jumped a few and mowed a few, along with a couple turkey nests.[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]


How preventable is this? I dont know much about hay cutting, I know it happens, but his attitude about just bugs me, Maybe because Im just jealous/ or feel invaded on what was onced untouched by any body but me and your average Joe hay chopper. I surely dont think he would do it on purpose.... would he? I dont know.... Buckmasters rant of the day.....
